Donate Now for Jump Rope for Heart!

On March 14th, the last day before Spring Break, we are jumping for our hearts!
We will be practicing our jumping during the next couple times a week for Jump Rope for Heart 2025! We’ll be skipping for a 60 minute block and participating in many skipping challenges with both our little and big buddies. Everyone’s been working hard on their skipping moves and I’m so excited for all the fun! PLEASE CLICK ON THE HEART PICTURE TO THE LEFT TO DONATE! Nelson has always been incredibly supportive of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and it’s grown in importance after losing our beloved custodian, Mr. Olsen, to a heart attack 5 years ago. Ms. Tsakalos has set our fundraising goal at $3,000. There will be reminders in our planners to wear runners and comfortable, cool clothing for our days of jumping! Don’t forget to bring your water bottle as well! Go Nelson Go!
Online donations will be open until just after Spring Break.
