CHANGE STARTS WITH US DIVISION 8! FTC14_303_WeCreateChange_Poster_Rnd01_v02_MO3Goats are amazing animals; they can survive in difficult conditions, aren’t picky eaters, & can produce 16 cups of milk a day, which can supplement student meals or be sold to help pay for school improvements. With enough time, they can also breed & grow into a herd!

Today Nelson was treated to a motivating Jump Rope for Heart assembly. We were reminded how Nelson is the only school in British Columbia to have participated in all 32 years of Jump Rope for Heart & we’ve raised over $268,188!
This year we’ve set a school fundraising goal of $8200 & also set goals to beat the 16 online registrations from last year & the 170+ students who fundraised.
