What other teachers are saying
"Our Jump Event was fantastic, and our students had a great time. It was a perfect way to start our March Break! We are planning to have our Wrap Up Assembly where several of our staff members will be taking a pie in the face from our top fundraisers, our school secretary and principal will be dressing up as Mario and Luigi, and our students will be receiving some well-deserved extra recess time! We are looking forward to sharing this exciting donation number with our students. It is amazing that we are fourth in all of Canada!!”
Christine, Grade 6 Teacher
“Jump does such a wonderful job providing phenomenal resources and ideas that added so much excitement for our school community! It was such an amazing day! Looking forward to hosting the event again next year!”
Jessica, Grade 1 Teacher
“Every day in our announcements we are linking a story from your website about a person who suffers or suffered from a heart attack or stroke. We also sent home paper hearts to all our families and asked them to place a name and/or picture on it to help us think about those in our lives that are or have been impacted by heart disease or stroke. The halls are filled with hearts.”
Sue, Grade 7 & 8 Teacher
“Our Jump fundraiser is going really well! We still have a week and a half left until our Jump day and we have surpassed our goal! As a reward for their fundraising efforts the students have already earned a bonus recess and will also see our principal, vice-principal and PE teacher kiss a goat!”
Diane, Grade 3 Teacher
