Jumping rope is possibly the most beneficial exercise a person can do! The 6th graders at Fillmore Middle School are having a Jump-A-Thon on Friday, April 29th, after CST testing. Students are raising money through flat donations between now and April 29th. Money earned will go to new PE equipment such as: basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, and jump ropes; for our 6th grade students. If you are interested in donating or helping out, please contact Fillmore Middle School at 524-6070, e-mail hatwood@fillmore.k12.ca.us, or simply send a check to 543 “A” St. PO Box 697 Fillmore, Ca 93016.
