Today, though, Tyler brought home a permission slip and donation request for Jump Rope for Heart. This is a good cause and we've decided to participate.
My mom had a heart attack when we were living in Georgia, 9 years ago. And if you've been reading here for any length of time, you know that being healthy and raising our kids to make good food choices and get exercise is very important to us. I like that they are taking this opportunity to educate the kids about a healthy heart.
If you'd like to help Tyler and this cause, please click here to donate. The minimum is $25. Thanks for considering it and have a great weekend!

I would love to help!!! I don't have an income though... :(
MQs school is doing the same thing. And I am SO with you on the overpriced wrapping paper, etc. we opt out as well. WE occasionally do the books, but the pressure they put on the kids to buy REALLY bothers me.
That is a great thing to do--our school tries so hard to avoid the product-based fundraisers and do the event-based or service-based kind. Not only do we make more money that way, we have to give WAY less to some company based in Texas or wherever. Plus, people don't need anymore crappe!
I totally remember doing jump for heart when I was in elementry school and I loved it! We jumped rope all day to music, it is one of my most memorable elmentarty-school days.
My Granddaughter Rachel just called us tonight--they're doing the Jump at her school in Minnesota, too!
2 of my nephews are in the same program locally here. What a fantastic idea!
I did Jump Rope for Heart when I was in school, too. I didn't think it was still around! I never did very well, though... I think I just made up my results to get more money, LOL. Oh well!
