JUMP ROPE FOR HEART (PRE-K - 5th GRADE)
Jump Rope for Heart is back for 2021 and I am excited about the changes they have made with the pandemic. This year the entire program is online, so if you would like to help continue the tradition here at WCS, you can follow the simple steps below and begin fundraising as well as earn some cool prizes.
The beautiful thing about it being online is it allows children to access family around the globe. We will not be able to have our traditional event full of parent volunteers turning rope for kids, but I am still hopeful that kids and families will get the message. It is very easy to send an email to family members and see if they would like to help your child reach their fundraising goal. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me and I can help in any way possible. ~ Mr. Hutchings

This parent letter they have constructed can also be helpful and explain their mission and why we do this here at WCS.
