PAES Jump for Heart Success

The Port Allegany Elementary School raised $4,177 for the American Heart Association through the Jump Rope for Heart campaign.
 
Students in grades three through six spent their gym classes  jumping rope during the week of February 10.
 
Pictured is Lily Duell, daughter of Wynn and Hazel Duell, who collected $1,363 for the cause.  She was jumping in honor of her niece who was born with a hole in her heart   Lily was also a "Jump Rope All Star" winning a jump rope contest with one winner from each homeroom.  She is pictured with elementary school nurse Jessica Rohrer who coordinated the event and physical education teacher Mike Nasto.
 
Following Lily as top fund raisers were Leigha Nelson in second place with $325 and Raelyn Torpey with $272.50.  Pam Fischer Photo
