  1. Jump Rope for Heart

Sandhills is once again joining forces with the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Kitchener to help our community. Through our fundraising efforts, in the past, we have helped the foundation to educate the public so that we can lead healthier lives.  Donations also help to further research and help patients in need.  Your children have taken home pledge forms. Please read the information on the envelopes. You can collect donations using our pledge envelopes or registering online at jumpropeforheart.ca  Our school outdoor Jump Rope event is scheduled for Friday May 20th.  We will skip outdoors during our middle block and have lots of fun while exercising. Your support is greatly appreciated as you help your children to collect donations by reaching out to family, colleagues, and friends.  As always, we do not encourage the kids to canvas door to door, especially without adult supervision.

Our goal is to register online.  All donations should be submitted by Friday May 20th whether you are returning pledge envelopes or making sure that your online donations are completed.

Thank you for your support!
