Mt Laurel exceeds Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser goal

During the month of February, Mt Laurel students in Lisa Bagley’s and Allison Gulock’s P.E. classes learned what it meant to be a Heart Hero. They took part in a month-long Jump Rope Unit that concluded with the Annual Jump Rope For Heart fundraiser that benefits the American Heart Association. 

In addition to students collecting donations, Bagley and Gulock created a “Chain of Love” around the gymnasium. For a $1 donation, students were given a “heart” with their name on it to place on the wall. The goal was to create a chain around the entire gym. 

Mt Laurel raised a total of $4,005.23 in donations for the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser, $300 of which came from the “Chain of Love” fundraiser. The school-wide goal was $2,500.
