Nelsonites! Are you ready to be JUMPCREDIBLE?!

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.
