Friday, March 13th is Jump Day!
We will be joining our big buddies in the gym on Friday at 2:00 to participate in Jump Rope for Heart 2020! We’ll be skipping for an hour and participating in many challenges along with Ms. Sam and Mr. Tesan’s classes. Everyone’s been working hard on their skipping moves and I’m so excited for all the fun! Remember to keep collecting pledges and return your envelopes on the 1st day back after Spring Break! Remember to wear runners and comfortable, cool clothing for an hour of jumping! Don’t forget to bring your water bottle as well! Go Nelson Go!

Nelson students participated in our 30th annual Terry Fox Run on Fri. Sept. 20th. After one week of fundraising, bringing in Toonies for Terry & collecting pledges, we raised an incredible amount of money for the Terry Fox Foundation!
Way to go Nelson!! We are the 2nd highest fundraising elementary school in Burnaby with fundraising totals over the last few years being:
2015 ~ $1,967          2016 ~ $2, 200
2017 ~ $2, 802          2018 ~ $2, 023
Nelson students will find out what their fundraising total this year is soon and will be rewarded for all their hard work!

Nelson’s Terry Fox run will take place Friday at 1:45pm.  Please join us at 1:30 for a short assembly to remember Terry, a warm up and then off on our run!
All this week Nelson students and teachers have been challenged to bring in at least one toonie and have the fundraising goal of $2,500, topping last year’s fundraising total of $2, 029.75
