Hoops and Jump Rope for Heart!

Our school is participating in a very special community service program to raise funds for heart disease and stroke. We are also working to increase our students’ awareness about the health of their own hearts. 
The week of March 9th grades K- 5   th    will participate in our Jump for Heart event. 

This program helps students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health, but also teaches children the value of giving back to those in need. Heart disease affects many families in our community, so your support means a lot!
Your child will be receiving a donation packet this week. St. Charles School's goal is to have as much student involvement as possible. Together, we can make a BIG IMPACT!
