Jump Rope for Heart

Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off day was on Tuesday 16^th August. The afternoon was such a success. All students participated and met their skipping goals. Julie and her daughters Jade and Asha Wilson came along from Parkside Primary School and demonstrated some skipping tricks at the beginning of the jump off day to a very eager audience. The music played and everyone joined in. Students who raised sponsorship money need to now return their booklets or go on line to finalise payment so I can tally what we have raised. Already, just on line we have raised over $4,000, this is not including the sponsorship booklets. We also have a web page that you can visit and put in your donations at  www.heartfoundation.org.au  A Jump Off Skipping exhibition by Parkside Primary School will be held on Wednesday 7^th September at 11.30am. I will be announcing the final amount we raised then. Stay tuned and again a big thank you for supporting this fund raising initiative.
