Jump Rope 4 Heart 2026

Last week, for the 42nd year in a row, Nelson students participated in:
Participating in Jump Rope for Heart helps Nelson students learn the importance of physical activity, healthy eating and giving to others. It also teaches them how to recognize the signs of a stroke so that they may be able to help in a family members time of need.
We’ve been jumping with our friends in Ms Tsumori’s class and then jumped with our little buddies in the gymnasium on Wednesday.
