Anniversary Celebration
The 1,2,3 Jump Program celebrated their one-year anniversary on February 24, 2007. We celebrated by inviting all the new and former jumpers, their families, and their friends to the NASCAR SPEEDPARK at Concord Mills. Miss Gripper, the founder of the KIS 1-2-3 Jump Program, opened the anniversary celebration by welcoming all in attendance and adding a few words about the club. After that we had a several more guest speakers. Finally, after all the talking was done we played games with our parents involved. We feasted on pizza, soda, and delicious cake. We rode go-carts, played laser tag, went rock climbing and last but not least we played a ton of video games. This event was very special and will always be in our memory thanks to Miss Gripper and all her helpers. Thank you to everyone who supported the anniversary celebration by doing such a wonderful job and making it all possible!!!

Shot-Out to the Reebok Factory Direct Store, Concord Mills Mall
With their help, every child in the 1,2,3 Jump Program received a brand new pair of Reebok Shoes to jump in. The awesome deal was extended to buy one pair of shoes and get one half off or buy two get one free, plus an additional 20%! A special thanks to Mike Scott and Curtis Newbern of the Reebok Outlet Store for going the extra mile to help us help others!
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
The students of the 1,2,3 Jump Program help to find a cure for juvenile diabetes by leading the students, teachers, and the staff of K.I.S. in the efforts to raise $1000.00 for JDRF. The rally to walk and raise money has been motivated by our very own Donna Rucker, who has walked for the cure for the last 3 years. This year the JDRF walk will commence with a performance from our very own 1,2,3 Jumpers.
