Tomorrow morning we will have an assembly put on by the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Our representative, Sandra Griffin, will be running the assembly. She will discuss the things that we should do to ensure a strong and healthy heart. She will also talk about the annual fundraising campaign.
At Rosser we have been very involved in this activity for many years. This is our 18th year of hosting a fundraising campaign and actively participating in a ‘JUMP’ event!!
Tomorrow afternoon students will be bringing home a letter explaining the programme. They will also have a fundraising envelope and a paper heart. Please help your child fill in the heart with the name of someone that they, or your family, knows who has been affected by heart or stroke concerns. This should be returned to school so I can ‘build’ our heart wall in the gym. If you can, or choose to, please consider making a donation to this worthy cause. There is information on how to participate on-line which makes it rather easy to do. Students may also win prizes based on their fundraising.
Last year 40 students participated in Rosser’s fundraising. If we have one more this year (so 41 students) then the school will be awarded a special set of gym equipment. Last year our little school raised $3101.81 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation!!!! That is a truly amazing number for such a small school. Income tax receipts are issued for deductions.
Our actual JUMP event will be on the afternoon of Friday, February 26th from 1:05 – 3:00. Students will be jumping with their buddy class. It is a lot of fun that the students really enjoy.
