Let's make a deal

Jump Rope For Heart is a national education and fundraising event sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. It engages elementary and middle school students with jumping rope while empowering them to improve their own health and help other kids with heart-health issues. North Crowley Elementary School participated in the fundraiser that wrapped up Friday. The school’s P.E. coach, Andrew Hargroder, made a deal with the students that if they reached their $2,000 goal, he would let the school shave his beard. Principal Pam Dequeant helped make Hargroder good on his promise.
