Jump Rope for Heart, now Kids Heart Challenge
KIDS HEART CHALLENGE- American Heart Association

Jump Rope for Heart is back again this year- this year it comes under a new name- Kids Heart Challenge! ECCA is participating and our school goal is $3500. So far we have reached $2100! Way to go Hawks! 

Kinder through 4th grade will be partaking in a round of fun and heart pumping activities on Friday, May 3rd from 8:20am-9:20am, in the ECCA gym.  At 9:30am- our own Coach Angelo has volunteered to be decorated as a whip cream pie, complete with toppings! Any students who raises over $150 will be part of the 'decorating' team ! The top 3 fund raisers will also get to hose him off. 

Below is the link to the website for those that would still like to sign up and help ECCA reach it's goal for the American Heart Association.
