Dear Parents/Guardians,

Beaumaris North Primary School is participating in the Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart program and we would love your support! The program will be offered to students from Year 1 – 6.

The Heart Foundation’s Jump Rope for Heart is an exciting and non-competitive program which encourages children to become more active through skipping, learning new skills and raising vital funds for heart research and community health programs.

Skipping is an excellent way for children to keep fit and healthy. Over the next few weeks, your child(ren) will be learning a range of fun skipping skills and new tricks. We will emphasise the importance of regular physical activity and the importance of healthy eating for a healthy lifestyle.

Jump Rope for Heart is also a great way to encourage children to get involved in our community and support Australia’s leading heart health charity, the Heart Foundation. The Jump Rope team provides us with lots of resources and support to implement the program and in return we ask that students help by seeking sponsorship for their involvement.

Sponsorship is easy – simply visit our BNPS fundraising page and register your child(ren)!

A secure fundraising page will be created as soon as you register; all you need to do then is click the ‘Email Sponsors’ link to send your family and friends an email asking them for their support… It’s that easy!

This is an easy, safe way for your child to monitor their progress, receive bonus prizes and even receive sponsorship from family and friends who are further afield

You can also collect cash donations, record them on the registration form supplied and send them back to school by Monday 4th September.

At the end of the program we will be holding a Jump Off day, an event to celebrate and culminate the Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart program. This will be held on Friday 1 September at 3:00pm in the Wood St playground. The Jump Off day is a great opportunity to support the children’s efforts towards the program and check out their new skipping skills.

Please aim to have all fundraising efforts complete by Monday 4 September as we will be announcing the total funds raised at the next assembly.

Thank you for joining us in the fight against heart disease.

Yours sincerely,

Silvi Levine, Tess Durham & Kate Williams
