Jump with Jill is a school assembly that travels the country transforming nutrition education into a rock ‘n roll nutrition concert. With original music, movement-based learning, and a compelling character, Jump with Jill uses the same tools normally used to sell junk food and keep kids sedentary into a powerful tool for teaching healthy habits. The interactive experience not only makes eating breakfast and drinking water cool, but helps increase retention of these important health messages. Jump with Jill has been performed for over 170,000 kids across the United States and Europe and has been featured on Nickelodeon, Sprout PBS, NPR, and Pittsburgh’s KDKA. [Read more...]
