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 Edward’s class and then jumped with Mr Morrison’s grade 7s in the gymnasium on Friday.
Click on the below picture to see us having fun and exercising our hearts!

On March 15th, the last day before Spring Break, we are jumping for our hearts!
We will be practicing our jumping a couple times a week for Jump Rope for Heart 2024! We’ll be skipping for a 40 minute block and participating in many skipping challenges. Everyone’s been working hard on their skipping moves and I’m so excited for all the fun! PLEASE CLICK ON THE HEART PICTURE TO THE LEFT TO DONATE! Nelson has always been incredibly supportive of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and it’s grown in importance after losing our beloved custodian, Mr. Olsen, to a heart attack a few years ago. Ms. Tsakalos has set our fundraising goal at $2, 500. There will be reminders in our planners to wear runners and comfortable, cool clothing for our days of jumping! Don’t forget to bring your water bottle as well! Go Nelson Go!
Online donations will be open until March 24th.
One Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, leadership students will be selling Candy Grams at recess.
On Wednesday, February 14th, Valentine’s Day, Leadership students will deliver the candy grams to your class! Let’s treat our friends and spread some love at Nelson!
