Lucas students will be skipping through the week of Feb. 21. Not skipping in the halls. Not skipping school. Skipping rope to raise funds and awareness through the American Heart Association Jump Rope for Heart program.
Students in 2nd - 6th grades will participate during their regularly-scheduled P.E. classes Feb. 21-24. Information will be sent home with the students, and Mr. Lowry requests all donation envelopes be returned to him by Wednesday, Feb. 29.
To generate excitement for the event and to reinforce the importance of heart health, the Iowa Skippers Jump Rope Team will visit Lucas for an assembly on Wednesday, Feb. 15. This team of 4th - 12th graders is based in Cedar Rapids and was organized 20 years ago by two Cedar Rapids physical education teachers.
Please contact Mr. Lowry with any questions or to volunteer during the week of Feb. 21. You can download the parent information letter here. For more information from the American Heart Association about this event, visit www.heart.org/jump
