Students and staff at Leslie Frost Public School in Lindsay, Ontario, finished their fifth annual Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser in February 2026. This local event combined physical activity with a community effort to raise money for medical research.

From February 2 to February 6, 2026, students took part in energetic activities during their gym periods. These activities included skipping rope, hula hooping, and completing obstacle courses designed to keep them moving and active.

The school community raised a total of $220 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. These funds are used to support research into heart disease and stroke prevention.

This initiative is a yearly tradition for the school, which is part of the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. The program focuses on teaching students the importance of regular exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
