Title of Bulletin Board: Jump Rope For Heart

Category: Special Events

Suggested Grade Level: All

Materials: prizes supplied by American Heart Association, letters, In Honor of hearts, levels signs, heart facts

Description:

Each year we receive the sampling of prizes students can earn by raising money for the American Heart Association during Jump Rope for Heart. We do not have a gym, display case or place to set out the prizes to help motivate the students. This year we used the bulletin board to display them. I printed out the amount needed for each level and placed it next to the item. Level one being the water bottle, level two, the jump rope, which was shaped into a heart, etc.

I also put a "thermometer" to update the amount the students were raising so they could see their progress. Also on the board was a heart fact that was changed out weekly. These facts were taken from the educational materials supplied by the AMA.
