Northern Valley Students Raise Money
to Fight Heart Disease

Students in grades 1st – 6th at Northern Valley participated in Jump Rope for Heart to promote their cardiovascular fitness and to raise money for the American Heart Association. The students raised $1,806.50.
The event was coordinated by physical education teacher Jim Cole. It was a great success. The participants gave the event 100%. It makes sense to give heart research the number one priority since cardiovascular diseases kill more Americans than all other causes of death combined. It is also important to teach our youth about volunteerism and giving to people in need.
The students from Northern Valley who participated in the Jump Rope for Heart Event would like to thank everyone who donated money. Each student will be receiving prizes depending on how much money each of them raised. The first grade collected the most money as a class with $640, followed by the fourth grade which collected $430. Second grader Katie Johnson was the school’s top money raiser as she collected $176.
