The American Heart Association recommends that kids and teens ages 6-17 get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.

Through a generous gift from Village Properties, the Santa Barbara Unified School District will receive 1,000 jump ropes from American Heart Association Kids Heart Challenge , to aid school children in reaching their daily physical activity goals while learning at home.

The jump ropes will be offered to families with students in kindergarten through sixth grade as they pick up lunch meals at school.
