Jump Rope for Heart _POSTEDBY  lisaanderson

I’m proud to announce the kickoff of Columbia’s “Jump Rope for Heart” campaign for the American Heart Association! This is one of our three yearly charitable campaigns. As a school community we use charitable campaigns to enhance our character education and wellness programs. Participation in fundraising is never mandatory for students. All students have the opportunity to participate in the planned activities regardless of money raised.

The note below is from our physical education department. I look forward to visiting the PE classes to test my fitness and lack of coordination! I encourage you to find a jump rope and join in the fun at home!
