KAHPERD Jump Rope for Heart

Jump Rope For Heart promotes the value of physical activity to elementary school children while showing them they can contribute to their community's welfare.  This is a time when children can establish the foundation for movement skills.  These are also the years when positive learning experiences can help establish a positive attitude and appreciation for participating in regular, daily physical activity for life. By jumping rope and securing sponsors, students raise money for the fight against heart disease and stroke, all while learning about the seriousness of heart disease and stroke, the lifelong benefits of physical activity and the importance of living a heart-healthy lifestyle.
