Every year in February, Academies at GBDS students participate in Jump for Heart in association with the American Heart Association. Mrs. Kelly leads the initiative and students join in learning about heart health and raising funds to protect all hearts—especially other kids’! Through fun activities they discover ways to take care of their hearts and brains while practicing kindness, gratitude and learning ways to de-stress. Mrs. Kelly and the students have raised over $700 for the American Heart Association.
