JUMP ROPE FOR HEART A HUGE SUCCESS

Once again our Jump Rope for Heart Event held on February 14th was a huge success. Students and staff skipped and danced for their friends and family members showing off routines they rehearsed throughout February. We also welcomed two important visitors at our event -- Junior Moar, former Canadian Light Heavyweight Champion, showed off his superior skipping skills while Jessica from the Heart and Stroke Foundation danced around the gym wearing a fabulous "heart" costume. Mr Canning was the highlight of the event -- he dressed up as cupid for the staff routine which was appropriately called -- The Cupid Shuffle! See the pictures in our photo gallery.

A big thank you to everyone who has generously donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation this year. Nightingale has been hosting this event for the past 11 years and our students have proudly raised over $17,000.00. So keep those donations coming in. Please return your envelopes by Friday, March 1st or donate on-line at www.JumpRopeForHeart.ca
