The following article was written by Aurora Academy teacher Jenny Tarbox.
February has been crowned "American Heart Month" since 1963, long before even some of the parents of Aurora Academy students were born. Still, 47 years later, cardiovascular diseases and stroke are the No. 1 killers of people in America. The American Heart Association has worked since 1924 to sponsor activities to raise money and awareness of heart health.
This February, 1 st - 5 th grade Aurora Academy students participated in Jump Rope for Heart. Jump Rope for Heart is an official fundraising event, sponsored by the American Heart Association that teaches kids about the importance of heart health by introducing them to heart anatomy, giving them information about heart diseases and conditions, and nurturing heart-healthy habits. More importantly, kids learn that heart conditions are not just adult problems. Many children also deal with heart problems every day. Jump Rope for Heart helps kids think more critically about heart health and offers an opportunity for them to become advocates in a fun way.
