Dear Parents and Guardians,
This was a week full of experiences at Mount View School. Students were busy jumping rope to prepare for the Jump Rope for Heart. Our LEAD students put the final touches on the spring robins that are now displayed in the learning commons. Spring rain is falling to help to prepare the soil for our gardens.
Jump Rope for Heart
Mount View School students participate in this event annually.
Did you know building healthy habits today helps reduce kids’ risk of heart disease and stroke later in life? Jump teaches students the EASY Healthy Habits to help protect their heart and brain health – for life!
Please check our school website for the full information – Jump Rope
