February 14-17, 2011
An informational flyer went home today with all students. Coach Neal is leading our school's participation in Hoops for Heart and/or Jump Rope for Heart. Here's the scoop for third graders...
During our lives different diseases of the heart have increased. Many private clubs, civic organizations, and social groups have stressed the need for every person to become more physically fit. Again this year, the American Heart Association is sponsoring "Hoops for Heart" which is a basketball skills activity. The students at Gilbert Elementary School will be participating in the program in P.E. classes during the week of February 14-17. We are asking each person to collect donations for this worthy cause - "To Help Cure Heart Disease". Our school goal is to collect $1,000.
Go visit parents, grandparents, family and friends, and ask them to support you with a contribution. DO NOT COLLECT DOOR-TO-DOOR. Ask your sponsors to make their checks payable to: AMERICAN HEART ASSOC. We will be collecting donations starting today and ending on Friday, February 25th. Please bring your donations to school in an envelope marked with "American Heart Association", student's name, teacher's name, and give them to Coach Neal
Wear RED to P.E. during the week of February 14-17!
