St. Bernadette jumps its way to healthy living and funds

Students at St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School take heart health seriously. During the month of May, students got active and skipped to their heart's content while collecting over $3,700 in pledges for heart disease and stroke research.

This partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation teaches students about healthy eating, the importance of daily physical activity, and the benefits of giving back to our community.

"Every year the students look forward to the opportunity to have loads of fun skipping and contributing to this great cause,” said St. Bernadette teacher and jump rope co-ordinator Colette Perrin, in a press release.
