Jump Rope for Heart Please sign and return your child’s Jump Rope for Heart Permission slip.

This is a time when children can establish the foundation for movement skills. These are also the years when positive learning experiences can help establish a positive attitude and appreciation for participating in regular, daily physical activity for life.
