What is Everyone Jump?
Everyone Jump builds awareness and knowledge of the importance of healthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical activity and healthy eating as a means of type 2 diabetes prevention.
Everyone Jump celebrates student, classroom and school participation by providing Grade 1-6 classrooms in elementary schools with the opportunity to participate in an Educational Challenge.
Primary Division and Junior Division Challenge winning entries are recognized with a Celebration Concert live for their entire school. Student winners will be presented with a recognition plaque. All students in winning classrooms will also receive a participation certificate.
