SUBJECT:
Jump Rope/Hoops for Heart Program

­­­­­­­­­­­­Under your leadership Jordan School District has engaged students and staff to support many programs, charities and efforts in our community. The American Heart Association’s “Jump Rope for Heart” or “Hoops for Heart” events have been recognized as strong third-party fundraising activities. For many of your schools it has become a part of the culture of giving, which has been remarkably successful over time.

I would like to congratulate the following schools for their participation in the events during the 2016-2017 school year:

Name                                                                    Donations

Elk Meadows Elementary                                             $9,832

Rosamond Elementary                                                  $7,064

South Jordan Elementary                                             $3,927

Oakcrest Elementary                                                      $2,559

Midas Creek Elementary                                               $2,338

Monte Vista Elementary                                                $2,005

Terra Linda Elementary                                                 $1,937

Silver Crest Elementary                                                  $1,839

Herriman Elementary                                                     $1,240

Copper Canyon Elementary                                          $   798

Oquirrh Elementary                                                        $   429

Westvale Elementary                                                      $   721

Total                                                                              $ 34,689

The funds raised by Jordan School District obviously vary by school, but each amount is just as meaningful to the whole. Through the participation of these 12 schools, Jordan School District has one of the highest contributions in Utah, helping the American Heart Association to give $18 million dollars to heart and stroke related research at Utah State University and the University of Utah. This truly demonstrates a Culture of Success as seen through the kindness and generosity of your communities.

More important than the fundraising results is the benefit to participating students. They can learn the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, and living tobacco-free through the various Heart events and materials. So, as we have for years, we appreciate that Jordan District supports the participation of schools in the American Heart Association programs. Special thanks to the schools and school communities that have contributed in the past. We encourage schools to explore the wide range of educational programming the American Heart Association has to offer.

Please feel free to contact your local American Heart Association representative, Kristi Morhauser, with any questions. She can be reached by email at Kristi.Morhauser@heart.org or by phone 609-217-6111.
