Last year pupils of Lurnea Public School took part in Jump Rope for Heart. It was a very exciting day for everyone involved and the person who organized it all was Mrs. Macklin.
There is a great deal of organization involved in preparing a Jump Rope for Heart program. Mrs. Macklin had to start preparing Jump Rope for Heart a couple of months before the actual day as she had to organize groups and different skipping routines.
Mrs. Macklin first got the idea to arrange Jump Rope for Heart Program, when some of her friends organized a similar day which was a huge success. She realized that it would be a good opportunity for the whole school to participate in something as well as being a chance to get fit.
Everyone received a list to see how many sponsors we could get. We raised between $ 4,000.00 and $ 5,000.00 of which the school received 10%. The remainder of the money went to the Heart Foundation of New South Wales.
If your sporting group (cubs, scouts, brownies, Girl Guides etc) would like to help a good cause and also get fit at the same time, just contact the national Heart Foundation of New South Wales for details. A big thank you is addressed to Mrs. Macklin for her time and effort in making our day a big success.
