O-A students jump to raise $6,238
On Feb. 1, students at Odebolt-Arthur Elementary in Odebolt jumped all over heart disease and stroke by participating in Jump Rope For Heart. The students raised $6,238 for the American Heart Association, which funds research, programs and education to ight heart disease and stroke, our nation’s number one and four killers.

Donations are still coming in and a final total won’t be available until next week. This is the most O-A Elementary has ever raised for Jump Rope For Heart.

“I’m so pleased with the success of this year’s event,” said Jeff Miesner, Jump Rope For Heart coordinator. “We all had a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed learning about the importance of physical activity and how they can play a role in saving lives.

“A special thanks needs to go out to the parents who donated their time, the staff for giving up instructional time and the community for all its support. The students were given water and fruits during the event to keep them hydrated and healthy. A huge thank you needs to go to Food Pride for donating all the water and food used during the event.”

Jump Rope For Heart is a program that promotes physical activity and heart health through jumping rope. It is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.

To make a donation or to find out more about Jump Rope For Heart, call your nearest American Heart Association of ice or call 1-800-AHA-USA1 (1-800-242-8721). You can also visit us online at heart.org/jump.

Once the final tally is available, Odebolt-Arthur will have a short assembly where Elementary Principal Neal Utesch will kiss a pig for the students reaching and surpassing their $3,000 goal.
