On Wednesday at 2 p.m, students, teachers and staff at Brevard Elementary School will join for a photo surrounded by red balloons and 2,000 milk jugs.
This event is the culmination of an activity led by PE teacher Patti Whitaker, who has been instructing students about the circulatory system, which carries 2,000 gallons of blood through the body each day.
This year’s “Jump Rope for Heart” event with the American Heart Association carried the theme “It Takes Heart to be a Hero,” and with a school goal of $2,000 — following the same 2,000-gallon theme —students secured donations to exceed the goal by another $1,400.
