Two weeks ago Andrew went door to door gathering donations for the American Heart Association’s “Jump Rope for Heart” fundraiser. In just a couple of hours he had earned over a hundred dollars. His dad and Grandma Leines sent him checks in the mail which put his grand total at $147.00. He was the second highest fundraiser in his school and fourth in the entire contest. His home-schooled friends Manny and Haley made it just over the $200 mark.
All the elementary students had a great time jumping. For 45 minutes teams of five took turns jumping for a minute a piece. Ms. Bidiman had fun music playing and snacks and drinks available for weary jumpers.
It was a fun and energetic event that raised $1,300 dollars for the AHA to help promote healthy hearts for children and adults.
