Heart Beat Hop, Friday, March 1st, 9:00 a.m.: Please join us Friday, March 1st on the back blacktop for a whole School Fundraiser in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Students will run or hop their way to earning valuable funds to support the 2019 Jump Rope for Heart Campaign! A fundraising pledge envelope will be sent home this week; however, if you do wish to donate, we encourage you to do so online, as it is fast and easy: https://secure-support.heartandstroke.ca/site/SPageServer/?pagename=jump_home Click on the DONATE button and scroll down to Donate to a School (Cordova Bay).
