Happy Heart Month!
American Heart Association Fund Raiser:
Support our mission in helping raise money for the
American Heart Association to help save lives.
We kicked off our Jump Rope for Heart unit on February 5th with an assembly for every grade level. Mrs. Gibbons, also known as "The Heart Lady," came to present to each class. She shared with them the importance of the American Heart Association and what you can do to save lives. To help save lives you can share the importance of a healthy heart and donate to the American Heart Association to support science and research.
Facts:
Heart disease is the number one killer in America. Every 43 seconds someone dies from heart disease, stroke or another cardiovascular disease in this country. Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. Almost 1/3 of U.S children and adolescents ages 2-19 are overweight or obese. Children who are obese are twice as likely to die before the age 55. 61% of children ages 9-13 are not physically active outside of school. On average American children watch 4 hours of television every day.
Do your part to save your own heart.
The following are within your CONTROL.
Exercise
Eat Right
Be Drug/Tobacco Free
Goal
Our goal is for each student to bring in $5.00. Last year we raised $928.01. We are hoping to beat that score this year and if we do I, Mrs. Maselli, will dress up in a super uncomfortable disco ball costume for one whole day. We ask that money be due March 1st. You can send it in the envelope that was sent home but you do not have to use it. Granby students have already received their tattoo prizes for doing their part to save hearts.
Tattoo
If you follow the instructions on the tattoo and download the "Jump Rope for Heart" app on your smart phone or tablet you can reap the benefits even further. You can set healthy goals, take selfies with different members of the scare squad, tour the NFL, check out new healthy affordable recipes monthly and much more!

YOU only get 1 heart!
Lets learn to take care of it!
Jumping rope is a really good cardio exercise for your heart! That's why we jump rope for heart. During our four day unit, our students learn a variety of individual challenges, partner challenges, and even begin to double dutch. They even have the opportunity to practice their challenges in front of a video camera so that they can watch themselves on T.V!!! The kids loved being movie stars and watching themselves perform. Some of our students invented their own challenges! Wow! Thanks for the helicopter, lasso and the egg beater ideas guys! Our Kindergarten and first grade students engaged in introduction to jump rope and a variety of jumping activities for heart health. Students who could jump rope the longest in their classes received a brand new jump rope to take home and an award!
We have a school record of
8:23 by Ahlam Harbi set in 2018.
Students are welcome to try to beat this record during our unit
in class or at recess time.
