On February 11th we are jumping for our hearts!
We will be practicing our jumping during the next month for Jump Rope for Heart 2026! We’ll be skipping for a 60 minute block and participating in many skipping challenges with both our little and big buddies. 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 5 years ago. Ms. Marino set our fundraising goal at $1,000. 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!

Nelson students participated in our annual Terry Fox Run on Friday. Sept. 19th. After one week of fundraising, bringing in Toonies for Terry and donating online, we raised a great amount of money for the Terry Fox Foundation! Way to go Nelson!!
We have participated in the Terry Fox Run for 35 years and as of last year have a fundraising grand total of $43, 597.19!!
Nelson students will find out what their fundraising total this year is soon and will be rewarded for all their hard work!
