  Thank You, Lorna Jackson Families!   We are thrilled to share that, thanks to your incredible support and generosity, our school raised $1,410 for Jump Rope for Heart in support of Heart & Stroke!   Your donations help fund life-saving research, education, and important initiatives that make a real difference in the lives of many. We are so proud of our students and school community for coming together to support such a meaningful cause.   Because our students surpassed their fundraising goal, they’ve earned a special reward — an extra 20-minute recess and a frozen yogurt treat this Monday, June 23 !   Also, please note: If your child qualified for a Thank You gift card from Heart & Stroke, you should be receiving an email from them shortly with redemption details.   Thank you again for making a difference!   — The Lorna Jackson Jump Rope for Heart Committee
