how important it is to support this
effort," said Mike Morris and Bar-
bara Divine, local Jump Rope for
Heart coordinators. "Jump Rope
for Heart not
only supports
the American
Heart Associ-
ation, it also
teaches stu-

healthy. You
can never learn too soon about the
kinds of things you can do to re-
duce your risk of heart disease,"
they said.

Heart program, students have col-
lected donations from their fami-
lies, friends and neighbors to sup-
port the research and education
programs of the American Heart
Association.

ceive a gift certificate for sports
equipment based on the amount of
funds raised by the school.
