Jump Rope & Hoops for Heart success!

We are writing to share the great news about our recent Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart fundraisers!

Here is information from our PE teacher, Ms. Heeschen:


Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart are community service learning programs of the American Heart Association.  They teach students the importance of developing heart-healthy habits and that being physically active can be fun.  Our students also learn that raising funds to support cardiovascular research and education helps save lives in their community and across the country. 

We are so proud of our Baker Butler students for raising $14,795.70 for the American Heart Association. We surpassed our goal of $13,000, which is what we raised last year.   In addition to providing funding for heart research, our school will receive a $500 gift certificate to purchase PE equipment.  Stay HEALTHY everyone!

Great job, everyone!
