Yellowstone Academy will host a Jump Rope For Heart event on Friday, Oct. 7.

The event will teach the more than 300 elementary students how physical fitness benefits the heart and show them that volunteering can be a fun and positive experience for the whole community.

The event will also raise money for the American Heart Association, which funds lifesaving heart and stroke research and community and educational programs for our youth.

Second and third graders will take part in the event from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.; fourth graders will take part from 10:50 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.; and fifth graders will take part from 1:15 p.m. to 1:55 p.m.
