🏆 Van Rensselaer 2nd Annual Jump Around: Results are IN!

Posted Date: 02/13/26 (10:48 AM)


Last night’s event was one for the record books! We had a massive turnout and an even bigger display of heart, stamina, and skill.

Funding Our Future

Because of your incredible support, we raised over $250 for our Elementary Physical Education program! These funds will go directly toward keeping our kids active, healthy, and moving.

The Path to the Black Belt

Our students have been working hard on their "Jump Belt" goals—using martial arts colors to track their progress in continuous, mistake-free jumping. Each grade faces a tougher challenge, and last night, the hard work paid off.
  • New Milestones: We saw dozens of students leveling up their skills!
  • The Elite: We are incredibly proud to announce that 5 students earned their Black Belts—the highest level possible—by hitting their grade’s maximum continuous jump requirement without a single mistake!

Record-Breaking Speed

We didn't just jump last night; we set new bars for the entire school! A huge shoutout to our two new record holders:
  • Saniyah: Set the 30-Second Challenge Record with a blistering 92 jumps! (That’s over 3 jumps per second!)
  • Harleigh: Set the 2-Minute Endurance Record with a staggering 235 jumps!
Thank you to all the families who came out to cheer, jump, and support our PE program. You’re helping us build a culture of fitness and discipline at Van Rensselaer!
