Valwood's Lower School in Hahira has raised $9,000 this year for the American Heart Association.

The Jump Rope for Heart campaign teaches kids how to fight heart disease through a healthy diet and activity.

Monday the students received their thank you gifts from the American Heart Association for their contribution, but they're using their gifts to give back.

The students were given the choice to donate their rewards to charity and most obliged.

The gifts will go to the Ronald McDonald House.

This year's amount of $9,000 brings the school's 15 year total donated to the American Heart Association to $100,000.

I remember doing this over 30 years ago when I was in school.
