Every year we receive lots of wonderful, heartfelt thank you notes from some of our Jumpin' J's families. The most recent one from a Moorlands family was extra special because it contained a photo featuring a brother and sister seemingly frolicking in a field of yellow flowers in their yellow Jumpin' J's shirts! My heart is FULL!

REGISTER NOW for summer camp while there is still space available so your child does not miss out. Everyone is always excited to perform in the jump rope show on the last day!

I have the pleasure and privilege of working with teenagers who are part of my Jumpin' J's staff. I am not their parents, so rather than "parenting" with love and logic, I recently realized I am trying to "mentor" them with love and logic. When I ran across this article, it made me think about my own children and how they had to learn these chores and life lessons. There was some complaining, as they did not have the "big picture" at the time, but they do now. They are all thankful I "put them to work" starting at a young age so they would learn how to take care of themselves and be a positive example to friends who appeared "helpless" to them. Some of their friends' parents were doing all the work, and not allowing their kids to be contributing members of the society of their own households! I am so proud of each and every one of my (now) adult children for taking responsibility for their own lives. I am also so grateful for all the love, extra help and support they give back!

It's time to stop babying your baby.

Great story about how the love of double Dutch can spark a movement! Check out the Philly Girls Jump and be inspired to get folks together in your neighborhood for some outdoor jump rope fun!

Double Dutch appears to be in decline these days, as younger women and girls are playing more digitally. But could Philly Girls Jump change that?

March is almost over and April is right around the corner. That means many new after school jump rope classes are starting shortly after the spring breaks are over. Registration is well underway as many families want to make sure their kiddos get signed up before the break so they can get into the final session at their school before the end of the year. Not to worry though: If classes fill up, there are several summer camps to look forward to!

After so many hours of "trying to sit still" in the classroom, kids are eager to get up and get moving in our after school Jumpin' J's programs! However, on the last day of summer camp when it's performance time, kids are happy to line up, stand quietly (for a few minutes) and get ready to be featur...

Jumpin' J's February newsletter contains an update on all of the classes for the rest of the school year! Woodmoor classes start right after mid-winter break. All remaining classes begin after the spring breaks are over.

February is Heart ❤ Health Month! Lots of kids are doing Jump Rope For Heart in PE this month to help raise money for the American Heart Association. This is a great time to sign up kids for an after school Jumpin' J's program so they can show all their friends who's boss with a jump rope!!
