Dear Parents and Students,

February is heart month, and all students at SVES will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart as part of their physical education program. All activities will take place during their scheduled PE classes under the supervision of PE teachers, Mr. Platts and Mrs. Allen.

At this time, your child will be participating in several different physical activities that promote cardiovascular fitness. As an introduction to this program, all students will view a video provided by the American Heart Association. The video will prepare them for the Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart programs which will take place from February 5 through February 19, 2018. In addition to participating in these fitness activities, Mr. Platts and Mrs. Allen will be talking about healthy eating habits. Healthy eating habits coupled together with physical exercise will help children to live a healthier lifestyle and become healthier adults.

Please check your backpacks for an envelope that was sent home from the PE teachers.
