Research suggests that children in Canada are experiencing less physical activity in their daily lives, leading to an increase in childhood obesity and other chronic illnesses. Early detection and proper treatment are key in supporting those living with heart disease. On Tuesday, February 14, all St.Jerome students and staff will participate in a Heart Healthy Fundraiser. All students will participate in a 20-minute SKIPPING event in our gymnasium. If possible, please send in a $5.00 donation to help support the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada prior to our event. Donations can also be made online to Jump Rope for Heart.

There will be daily draws for students to win individual prizes. In addition, the class which raises the most money will receive a healthy snack to enjoy.
