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.

Nelson students participated in our annual Terry Fox Run on Thurs. Sept. 21st. After one week of fundraising, bringing in Toonies for Terry and donating online, we raised an incredible amount of money for the Terry Fox Foundation! Way to go Nelson!!
We have participated in the Terry Fox Run for 33 years and as of last year have a fundraising grand total of $40, 949. 69!!
Nelson students will find out what their fundraising total this year is soon and will be rewarded for all their hard work!

Last week, for the 41st 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 Mr Morrison’s grade 7s in the gymnasium on Friday.
