Lower school students participating in
Jump Rope for Hearts.
February was American Heart Month and nearly 400 Paul Cuffee students and their teachers participated in this year’s Jump Rope for Heart: a month-long endurance event coordinated by Marlon Mussington, the Paul Cuffee Lower School’s physical education teacher.
Besides learning about heart-healthy activities and pumping up their own heart rates during this “All School Jump,” the lower school students raised a phenomenal $3,048 from parents, friends, and relatives to donate to the American Heart Association.
This year’s heart disease education and prevention effort brings our School’s twelve-year cumulative fundraising total to $44,520 thanks to “Coach” Mussington’s dedicated leadership and unwavering enthusiasm. As Coach puts it, “This annual event continues to be a great example of how kind our community truly is!”
