JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
Jump Rope For Heart is an annual event held at the Minot Forest Elementary School gymnasiums on a Saturday in May. This is an event which the now retired John Clark ("Mr. Clark") began more than 20 years ago. Through this event, Minot Forest students have raised over $100,000.00 for the American Heart Association. Students are given information during physical education class. Permission slips are sent home and envelopes are handed out to begin collecting donations. On the day of the event, with the help of generous donations from Dunkin' Donuts, Coca Cola Company of Cape Cod, Ocean Spray, Papa Ginos and Subway, students are treated with donuts and juice in the morning, snack mix midway through the event and pizza for lunch!!!! This event would not be possible without the help of the many volunteers who help make the event run smoothly: Mrs. Chouinard, Ms. Rogers, Mrs. Jensen, Mr. Paling, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Fernandes and Mrs. Weatherspoon. Thank you all for making this event such a success each year!!!
