February was American Heart Month and the celebration had Paul Cuffee students jumpin’. Jumping rope, that is.
Students learned about cardiovascular health in their classes and on February 14th showed a lot of heart by participating in Jump Rope for Hearts, a jump rope endurance test. Besides pumping up their own heart rates, Lower and Middle School students raised a phenomenal $5,172 from parents, friends, and relatives to donate to the American Heart Association to promote education about heart health.
