The Low Down on What’s Going on with me and my Back Pain (Surgery)

On: July 19, 2017

Next week I may end up a partial robot!! Probably not, but it could happen since I am going in for back surgery and stranger things have happened. I know what you’re thinking “Back surgery?!? You? But you’re like a totally super fit jump rope dude!” I realize it may creep you out a bit that I know you talk like a surfer (or a valley girl), but let’s get past that and look at what happened to lead me to this particular juncture in my life. **NOTE: We are booking assembly programs for the 2017-2018 school year.

We were fortunate enough to have Peter, the amazing jump roper, with us today. He presented 2 assembly programs of which both of them maintained student engagement for the entire 45-50 minutes for which he presented. By the looks on students' faces and the smiles I know how much they enjoyed the program. I haven't left the gymnasium where Peter performed and I've already received feedback from quite a few staff members regarding his performance today. Outstanding assembly program, it ties in really well with our wellness initiative and the idea of students becoming active. I also liked hearing his message about practicing and working hard and that type of thing because those are messages that we try to instill in our students all the time.
