Every year, students from Vinton-Shellsburg Elementary students raise money for "Jump Rope for Heart" in an annual fundraising effort for elementary and middle school across the country. Thousands of schools and millions of kids participate each year. The program has raised over $1.2 billion since it began in 1978.

Jump Rope for Heart has four simple goals:

Get kids active by having them jump rope.
Educate kids about their hearts, and heart-healthy habits.
Raise money for cardiovascular research and outreach programs.
Teach kids the value of community service.

Vinton-Shellsburg's Tilford Elementary and Shellsburg Elementary BOTH placed in the Top 50 Schools in Iowa for the Kids Heart Challenge not in just Eastern Iowa...but out of the ENTIRE STATE OF IOWA!

Out of all of the Eastern Iowa schools, Tilford and Shellsburg placed 12th and 13th respectively.
