Birch Lane Raises $8G for American Heart Association

Students at Birch Lane did much more than jump rope in Physical Education class this month... they saved lives and jumped in honor of people they hold close to their hearts. The students jumped rope for heart to show their commitment to living an active and healthy lifestyle while raising money to help aid in lifesaving research. Birch Lane raised a total of $8,135.44 for the American Heart Association. Thank you to all the students for your participation in this great event. Congratulations to Michael S. in kindergarten for being Birch Lane’s top fundraiser.
