You Can Help Us!
Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the American Heart Association! The more we raise for the AHA, the more we earn in US Games certificates to be used for Physical Education equipment. We are donating these to Irving and Emerson Elementary Schools in Joplin, MO.
If you'd like to show our students that you support their efforts to help make a difference for those affected by heart disease and stroke AND students in Joplin we'd like to invite you to make a donation to our event, by clicking here .
THANK YOU!

Joplin -- Irving and Emerson Elementary Schools
Joplin, Missouri
Irving Elementary School
Mrs. Susan Flowers teaches about 450 K-5 students Physical Education at Irving and Emerson Elementary Schools in Joplin, MO. This year we are donating our US Games gift certificates to Mrs. Flowers and her students. Even though it's only a drop in the bucket compared to what they need, my wish is that our Chadron students continue to learn that each one of them is able to make a difference in somebody's life -- if they choose to do so! They are so inspiring! My hope is that Mrs. Flowers and her students can feel in their hearts that we are with them in spirit as they continue their journey in rebuilding their schools.

Jump'N for Joplin Shirts
What do you think of our "event T-shirt" ?!
This year is an extra special event because we have decided to donate the US Games gift certificates (to be used for physical education equipment) that Chadron Schools earn to Irving and Emerson Elementary Schools in Joplin, Missouri. These two school buildings were destroyed in the devastating EF-5 tornado that hit Joplin on May 22, 2011. There is a quote on the shirt by Quinton Anderson, a senior at Joplin High School: "Always take that extra step." On August 17, Quinton walked into the new Joplin High School (which is the old Shopko building - transformed - at the mall). This was a miracle because, after being hit by the tornado, he spent more than five weeks in the hospital. Quinton lost both of his parents and his two dogs. For three days, nobody knew if he was alive. Quinton’s story, and his spirit of resilience, inspired a community that is recovering from devastation.
The plan is to collect a $10 donation for each shirt. ALL proceeds will be divided between the American Heart Association and the Joplin Schools. The t-shirts must be ordered by October 11, in order to have them here for our event on October 26. If you would like to order a shirt (or shirts!) please contact Mrs. Rischling ASAP by calling 432-8910 or email at linda.rischling@chadronschools.net . How amazing will our event picture be with all the participants wearing this t-shirt?!!
Thank you for supporting our kids in Jump Rope for Heart AND for helping teach our kids to take action and show we care -- not just feel sorry -- for those struck by tragedy.
We are cheering on the kids, teachers, and families of Irving and Emerson Elementary Schools in Joplin.
