Jenny

Jenny Lind Elementary School
students and staff participated in a statewide effort Monday morning to
break the current Guinness Book of World Records for the most people
jumping or skipping rope at the same time along with raising more than
$2,200 toward efforts to prevent childhood heart disease.
The Jenny Lind students and
staff joined more than 80,000 others in the state at 9 a.m. in a 10½-minute
effort to break the simultaneously jump rope record held by Australia.
Jenny Lind’s participation numbers reached 630 students and adults.
In addition to taking a crack
at breaking the world record, which Australia set at 59,000 jumpers,
Jenny Lind supported the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for
Heart annual event as well as completing the California's Governor's
Physical Fitness Challenge where students must exercise for 30 minutes
per day at least three days a week for at least a month, said Principal
Amy Hasselwander.
Jenny Lind has participated in
the Governor's Physical Fitness Challenge the past three years, but this
was the first time the school was involved in the Jump Rope for Heart
event, she added.
The thought was students would
raise a dollar each to help the American Heart Association in its effort
to prevent childhood heart disease, but the students exceeded those
expectations, Hasselwander said.
To break the record, students and staff jumped rope for three
three-minute periods, with 10-second breaks in between and then finished
with an additional minute of jump roping.
