Our annual Jump Rope for Heart event was kicked-off with an informational assembly on

Friday, January 19. Students were introduced to our own little heart hero, kindergarten student

Mallory Hall. Mallory received a heart transplant on December 6, 2014 and her family was

more than willing to share her story in hopes of educating our students on the importance of

heart health. You can read about her heart journey on our school website.

Students who feel led to join the fight against heart disease with the American Heart

Association are encouraged to collect donations (online, check or cash) from people they know

(family, friends, church friends, neighbors, ball park friends, local businesses, etc.). Donations

are tax deductible and go towards research and education that saves lives. In addition, our

school can earn money for PE equipment and your child can earn prizes that encourage him or

her to keep up with the good work for heart health.

All students, regardless of whether or not they have collected donations will participate in

a JRFH celebration in their regularly scheduled PE class the week of February 5 – 9. If you are

able to come to this celebration and help turn the long rope for your child’s class, please

email me at [email protected] and I’ll get a schedule to you. Thank you!

Birthday / Special Occasion Book Club

We will be changing our birthday / special occasion book club at Coal Mountain. This is a

great way to help out our school library and at the same time honor the birthday / special

occasion of your child. At the beginning of your child’s birthday / special occasion month, your

child will be able to choose a book from a special new book collection. The book will receive a

unique inscription inside with your child’s name and birth date. Your child will be the very first

to check it out from the library. In addition, a picture will be taken of your child with their book

and hung on the Birthday/Special Occasion Book Club display in the lunchroom. (We will honor June and July birthdays / special occasions in May, and next years

August birthdays / special occasions in September.)

Please complete the form and return it with $17.00.

(Checks made out to Coal Mountain Elementary and please include your phone number on the check)

All Birthday / Special Occasion Book Club Donations are due by the end of the month before your child’s

birthday / special occasion.
