We will be joining our big buddies in the gym on Friday at 11:00 to participate in Jump Rope for Heart 2019! We’ll be skipping for an hour and participating in many challenges along with Ms. Tsumori and Ms. Gatenby’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! If you have RED, please wear it in support of the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Don’t forget to bring your water bottle as well! Go Nelson!
