Croton-Harmon students jump into heart health awareness

February 25, 2017 By Team Up 4 Community

Students at Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School in Croton-on-Hudson have leaped into a new program that encourages them, and the community, to embrace a heart-healthy lifestyle.

They were introduced to Jump Rope for Heart, an American Heart Association initiative, through their physical education classes this month. Students have learned about the importance of developing heart-healthy habits and have picked up jump-roping skills as part of the effort, while independently fundraising to support cardiovascular research and education.

Physical education teacher Suzanne Leslie said the school initially set a fundraising goal of $5,000, but quickly surpassed it by raising more than $8,000 to date.

“The money goes straight to the American Heart Association,” she said. “I’m extremely proud of the students and the parents and the community – it’s pretty neat.”
