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.

Nelson students participated in our annual Terry Fox Run last Friday. After a late start to the year & only a few days of fundraising, bringing in Toonies for Terry & collecting pledges, we raised $1097 for the Terry Fox Foundation!! Incredible!! Our fundraising in the last couple years has been:
2011 ~ $502
2012 ~ $642
2013 ~ $1430.
We easily surpassed this year’s goal of $800! I’m so proud of all of your hard work!
