Jump for LES
Smiles, laughter, and the sound of jumping ropes filled the gym on February 13th as students participated in our school’s annual Jump for LES fundraiser. The event was a tremendous success, bringing in over $7,000 to support our school community.
Students eagerly rotated through a variety of high-energy activities, including jump rope challenges, an obstacle course, and creative jump rope stations. From beginners mastering their first single bounce to experienced jumpers showing off their skills, the excitement was contagious. The gym was filled with encouragement as classmates cheered one another on and celebrated their accomplishments.
The funds raised through Jump for LES go directly back into the school to enhance student experiences both inside and outside the classroom. In previous years, donations have helped purchase a rock wall, new basketball hoops, and inflatable attractions used during the Harvest Festival and Field Day, among other improvements.
Thanks to the incredible support of our families and community, plans are already underway to determine how this year’s funds will continue to benefit our students. We are grateful for everyone who contributed to making this event such a positive and impactful day for our school.
Jump for LES once again proved that when we "ROPE" together, great things happen for our students.
