Rehoboth Elementary School students raised a total of $5,232 for the American Heart Association through Jump Rope for Heart.
The activity is part of the fitness and conditioning unit in coach Richard Lantz's physical education curriculum during February, which is Heart Month. Students voluntarily raise money for the American Heart Association outside of school.
In school, Lantz teaches the students about the chambers, size and location of the heart, as well as areas of the body to find their pulse, the effects of exercise on their pulse and heart, and ways to stay physically fit. At the end of the unit, students work out at five stations of different jumping activities.
