I just drove all over Australia because school was out

On: October 21, 2018

My wife and I just finished driving all over Australia. I have not been very good at doing any updates on here and I apologize. The past few weeks have been quite hectic with my first ever trip to China, backpack hiking in Canada, filming an ad for a new cell phone and spending almost a month in Australia. Stuff has been happening. I would like to say that I have all of my jump rope trips planned out a year in advance. That I have shows scheduled at schools constantly and that life as a performer is super easy and fun! This is farRead More →

We have grades 3, 4 and 5. Our student population is about 330 students. We're in a rural part of Arizona and we were very pleased with the program that we had today. The students were overwhelmed with the amount of information they received about trying to be a positive student as they're growing up, getting information about having good fitness and taking care of themselves. The message that Peter gave to them was very positive, for them to have confidence in themselves, not to let others interfere with the direction they may choose, something that may be unusual, to have confidence to continue doing it. Boys and girls enjoy hearing that and it's a good message for them to get at this age as they can be very influenced by peers. Also, the student participation, they really enjoyed seeing their friends get up. Most of the students at our school have been together for years and years, so they know each other very well so when students get up in front of the audience to do an audience participation activity, they really enjoy that.
I think that some of the different activities that Peter showed them, they were very astonished at the different things he could do with a jump rope and the unicycle. Hopefully it will motivate them to try some different things. We do a jump rope for heart activity in February so this was a big kick-off for our school as we raise money for the Heart Association and we do it through jump rope. I would definitely recommend this program for other schools, it was an awesome program, the students loved every single minute of it and were just totally enthralled with the program. We loved it.
