Jump, Jump, Jump! SMS Jump Ropes for Heart!

Last Friday, all of SMS headed outside to participate in the annual Jump Rope for Heart! With music blasting, students broke into relay teams (as practiced in PE) and jumped their hearts out! Take a look at our awesome relay teams!!

Our star jumpers sure have skills!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some Owls were shocked to discover their teacher still had some jump roping skills :-P

When it wasn't their turn to jump, they had a lot of fun cheering on their teammates, hula hooping, and showing off some dance moves :)

 

 

After about a half an hour of relay jumping, it was time to break out the long ropes and show off some teamwork! 

 

While the fun was coming to an end, the Owls had a few last minutes to enjoy this great event! Time was spent playing jump rope games, showing off some tricks, or learning something new!

One-legged jump roping!

 

Two-Person Jump Roping!

Everyone had a BLAST while also supporting the American Heart Association. We haven't gotten the final figures yet, but Ms. Batchelder said SMS raised a TON of money! Way to go SMS! Thanks to all the families that donated. Your donations support important research for heart disease as well as educational incentives to teach others about keeping a healthy heart!
