Leadership Workshop

             We are fortunate enough to be invited to a Leadership Workshop in May to learn skills for 
             leading Jump Jam fitness sessions.  Your child has been chosen as he/she has been actively 
             involved in Jump Jam leadership and competition.  It is a fantastic opportunity to gain skills 
             for the annual competitions and is, in fact, run by one of the judges.  We will have first-hand                                information!


             We require transport to this event in Hastings on Tuesday May 20th at 12 noon.  We will leave 
             school at 12 noon to travel to Mayfair School and be back at school by 3.00pm.  
             (1111 Willowpark Road North, Mayfair, Hastings.)  
             The cost is $10 per person.  

             Please return your permission slips by Thursday 15 May.

Tough Guy & Gal Challenge Helpers

          Although this is early in the Jump Jam competition process and we don’t know who will make 
          the National finals in competitions, there is always money to be found for Jump Jam.  The 
          headsets only last about 2 years before they need replacing, the sound system is used at least 
          3 or 4 times per week, costumes may be required and the disks often need replacing (they are not                       cheap!).
    
          However, we have stumbled across an excellent fundraising opportunity.  The ‘Junior Tough Guy
          and Gal Challenge’ is coming up in May (Friday 23rd) and we will be required to provide 15
          marshals and registration staff for the day.  Many of our children will be entered.  The following 
         is the brief I have been given.
                             10 staff – Registration
