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. 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 during middle block.  Students are encouraged to bring their own skipping rope if possible.  Please label the rope handle with the child’s name.  Children will be responsible for their own ropes and will bring them home at the end of the day. Pledge envelopes are due May 20th and online donations should also be completed by that day.
