Wellness Fair & Jump Rope Contest
It's time for our 12th Annual Wellness Fair and we are excited to invite you to come and visit over 30 exhibitors, some of whom have been coming every year since our first event!
Jump Rope Contest Information:
- Tryout are held this week for the 25 kids out of each grade -Those who make it to the finals compete on March 19.
- Kids do not have to bring their own jump rope. (see fitness news below for where to get the same jump rose we use in fitness)
We have been studying our body Systems in Fitness beginning with the skeleton and labeling our bones. We have also studied the Circulatory System; we used Stethoscopes to listen to our heartbeat and that of our friend! This really excited the students! I think I see some future Doctors and Heart Surgeons in our Haggar Community!
We took a break from studying our Body Systems to practice for our jump rope tryouts and the contest. The students are all asking how they can get these ‘segmented’ ropes that we use!
I order them from BSN Sports. They are located in Farmers Branch/ Carrollton. I am posting the website and the information for you to review! www.BSNsports.com. In the search area, search for segmented skip rope – they come in all sizes. We use either the:
- Red/white 7’ $3.49
- Blue/White 8’ $3.49
- Red/white/blue 9’ $4.49
These are the best jump ropes that I have ever used and the students seem to love them! Hope this helps!
Please read the article regarding our Wellness Fair! We hope to see you at the Jump Rope Contest before the Fair and continue on inside to the Fair beginning at 6:00!
There is a lot going on these last few months of school! Please make sure your student gets plenty of rest, eats healthy, and exercises! Remember your 2020 VISION!

Donate to the PTA
It’s time to clean out your closet and keep the essentials that ”spark joy”. Please drop off your donations in the blue bin by the side parking lot. For every pound collected from you, our PTA receives $0.12 per pound. The benefit to you? Neater closets, drawers, toy boxes, and kitchens, and the knowledge that less textile waste will end up in our local landfills.
Don’t forget to complete or renew your volunteer application for this school year! This has to be done in order to volunteer for field trips, class parties, watchdogs, book fair, or any other volunteer opportunity. It can take up to 2 weeks for it to be processed, so the sooner you do it the better. Please use the link below to view the application. Thanks in advance for your interest in volunteering!
