On Wednesday the 26th
September we will be taking part in the Jump Rope for Heart Skip-a-thon.
The goal is to raise awareness of being healthy and fit in order
to maintain a healthy heart is cardiovascular disease is New Zealand’s number
one killer (40% of all deaths). The Heart foundation relies on public
generosity to fund its non-profit organisation and we are proud to support
their cause.
Each child will be sent home with a challenge booklet. They will
set a goal and on the day of the skip-a-thon, will set out to achieve this goal
using a variety of different skipping techniques. We ask that each child find
sponsors to support them in their challenge, either by pledging an amount to
each skip or a donation (a guide to safe sponsor gathering is outlined in the
booklet). Please do not collect the money until after the
skip-a-thon. Once all monies have
been collected, please send in to school in a sealed, named envelope by
Wednesday 17th October.
Happy Skipping!
Lisa
