The students were divided up into sections and spread out, playing different games. On the stage, girls took turns hula-hooping, while a group of students hopped onto the rock-climbing wall and tried not to fall off.
Pair after pair ran through the obstacle course; others played with balls or skipped ropes. Some of the other activities included rope-climbing and paddle ball games.
Jump Rope for Heart is a longtime tradition at Kensico. The physical education staff works together to teach students about heart health and the importance of movement. The event is a celebration of movement and allows the students to enjoy their favorite activities.
