Canada’s top Jump Rope for Heart school fundraiser is St. Gregory’s in Carleton Place

Congratulations go out to the students at St. Gregory Catholic School in Carleton Place, who raised an incredible 26 thousand dollars for Jump Rope for Heart this year.

It’s understandable if your heart just skipped a beat.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation benefits from the money raised.

Principal Paula Perrault inspired the students with her family’s experience. Her husband Bob had a stroke last June.

Thanks to their efforts, the school earned the title of Canada’s top Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for this school year.

Getting almost one million kids moving, the Jump Rope for Heart campaign teaches children lifesaving health information in a fun, engaging way.

Students can get active, practice healthy habits, and give back while raising funds for Heart & Stroke.
