Our school has been so excited to participate in Jump Rope for Heart—a fundraising program that empowers kids to build healthy habits and understand the importance of giving back. Together, we are working together to try to make a difference in the fight to beat heart disease and stroke. The generous contributions from our school community have helped make a significant impact! Our overall fundraising goal was $4000. We held our Jump Rope event on Thursday May 7th and it was a huge success. The entire student body was involved from helping to run the Jump Stations, leading our student groups around, all the way to participating in the event itself and showing off their jump rope skills.

In one week, on May 14th, our annual Track and Field meet will take place at the school. We are looking for volunteers to run the concession stand where hotdogs are grilled and sold along with other items such as Gatorade, Freezies and chips.
In order to make these items available to students and families who are visiting, we need volunteers. Without volunteers to run the concessions, this opportunity won't be available for students and families.
Please contact me directly if you are able to lend a hand on Thursday, May 14th by calling the school at 519-676-5481.

Additionally, they will provide support to the ecosystems, including birds and animals. 🌳🪺🐿️
