Jump Rope for Heart results
Posted on March 20, 2018
Dear St. Ambrose Families,
Wow, what a fantastic community we have at St. Ambrose School! During February the students worked hard in PE class to learn how to jump rope in preparation for the Jump Rope for Heart event. During the event, the students showed great effort towards completing the endurance challenge, had a great time jumping rope with their classmates and showed off some new tricks. Next time you are at school, stop by the gym to see their names on the endurance challenge poster.
Through the efforts of the students who participated in fundraising, they raised $4,300 for the American Heart Association. The students exceeded my goal of $3,000 which has earned them a dress down day, date TBD. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this worthy cause. Fundraising gifts will be sent home today.
God Bless,

St. Ambrose Families, (Please read to the end of this letter).
We had our Jump Rope for Heart kickoff assembly on Friday, February 2. This is a great opportunity for us to help raise money for The American Heart Association (AHA) and to learn about having a healthy heart. The following is some information about how this event will run:
- All students, registered or not registered, will participate in the event during their PE class the week of February 26th-March 2nd.
- Students do not need to be proficient in their jump roping skills.
- The event is not a competition but just a fun PE class of jump roping and other activities.
- Donations made in the form of cash or checks for the AHA are due the week of the event. Final online contributions and late cash donations are due by Friday, March 9th. Please send contributions in the envelope provided in last weeks communication folder.
- Prizes earned will be ordered on March 9th with the students receiving them a few weeks later. Instant gifts, will be awarded the same week that your child received an online donation.
- If our school raises $3,000 for the AHA, the students will earn a dress down day.
