February is Heart month! It is also our Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser. This month during PE, students will be skipping and jumping in a variety of ways! The purpose of this event is to bring awareness to heart health. On Friday, February 7th, students will also take part in a kickoff assembly where we will learn about healthy habits and be treating to the skipping talents of the Calgary Skip Squad.
