    Proud Grandma

    Kaye's oldest boy Max (age 6-1st grade) raised the most money in his school for jump rope for heart. The little fundraiser raised $270.00. How awesome. He is learning first hand about diseased hearts from his Mom and Grandma but look at the difference he can make at 6.

            Re: Proud Grandma

            Thanks, Mom. Yes, we are quite proud of Max. He is pretty excited about all of the cool prizes he earned for raising so much money. LOL. I got a little teary eyed when he told me the principal made an all school announcement yesterday to announce that Max was the top fundraiser for that activity. He's a pretty awesome kid!
