 KIDS JUMP FOR PMC – The Conrad elementary schools recently held their annual Jump Rope for Heart fund-raiser for the Pondera Medical Center and raised $6,640.47. Proceeds will go towards the purchase of new equipment at the PMC Wellness Center.

Students collected donations around the community and from their family and friends. Conrad Schools conducted the event around Valentine’s Day.
Students jumped during their entire class period. They were also timed to see how many successful jumps they could complete in a one-minute timing.
The top girl and boy jumper in grades 1-5 were as follows:
1st grade: Allison Broesder and Shane Townsend.
2nd grade: Carley Taft and Clint Judisch
3rd grade: Brook Esterly and Dawson Berg.
4th grade: Skylar Stenson and Clark Judisch.
5th grade: Alexandra Treiber and Blake Underdahl.
The top 11 fundraisers in alphabetical order were: Kinsey Harris, Sheridan Johnson, Dania Jones, Alana Kastner, Alex Kastner, Preston Miller, Uriah Payne, Conner Peters, Bridger Russell, Taylor Russell, and Talia Stephens.
Students who raised money and turned in their donation envelope received a water bottle. Top money raisers won a jump rope.
The grand prize was a Panasonic stereo, which was won by Preston Miller.
