We had the privilege last week of having the Dallas, Oregon Ropebusters Competition Team come to our school. The Ropebusters are a group of about 75 elementary and middle school students who work diligently to perfect and perform a variety of long and short jump rope skills. They came over to Wilson two days this week for workshops during PE classes and a performance. They travel all over Oregon helping students learn jump rope skills, so that students have another tool to become more heart-healthy!

This is such a great and unique opportunity we have here at Wilson! Students worked in groups of two or three with a Ropebuster. The primary grades focused mainly on long jump rope, while the intermediate grades worked on short jump rope skills and tricks. Wildcats, you did AWESOME!
Here are a couple of videos from last years workshop sessions with the Ropebusters...

The coach and coordinator of the program, Jim Dent, commented to me that he likes coming to Wilson because of the students. He said they "show respect and try so hard - even if they know they aren't the best at jump rope." That is quite the compliment from someone who does workshops and performances all over Oregon. Way to go, Wildcats!!!
Enjoy the rest of the week,
