Jump Rope for Heart 2007

Students at Dade Elementary School participated in the 2007 Jump Rope for Heart program on January 23-26.

Students raise money through donations for the American Heart Association to help fight heart disease and strokes.

Each year the program is dedicated to the memory of former DES principal, Mr. Steve Ruff. This is the school's 11th year to participate in the program.

All Dade Elementary School students participated in the program during their regular Physical Education class time under the direction of DES instructors Rhonda Bradford, Tarre Ginn, Brenda Millican, and Becky Smith.
