Huron Heights raises $5,000 at Jump Rope for Heart

The students at Huron Heights Public School, Kincardine, were not skipping school, but skipping at school, as they participated in the annual Jump Rope for Heart event, Thursday afternoon, raising $5,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

It wasn't just students jumping around in the sunshine outside, but several teachers grabbed a skipping rope and showed the youngsters how it's done.

Besides individual skippers, there were some doing double-dutch, and others skipping rope individually within a group jumping rope. There were also 30-second skipping challenges for various grades.
