Four Winds First Annual Jump-a-thon!

Friday, April 8th - 11:40pm-3pm - in the parking lot!

Jumping will happen during the school for the mixed ages; after school for the younger grades, and during movement classes  for the other grades.  The jumping activities will be age appropriate. Your child will not be asked or expected to perform any task (i.e. double dutch) with which they are not familiar or comfortable doing. Children will be able to participate at all levels of ability. Even the youngest children will be able to jump over the snake rope on the ground.  Goals will be established as class goals and not individually to promote excitement and enjoyment without subjecting anyone to disappointment.
