My son's school is so excited about participating in this event. We have been doing a lot of promotions for this event. We are a small commuinity, but we know we can help with this big event.

I am a PE teacher at a school. You must find supervisors for your event that are NOT teachers or parents (see rules for event). The jumping jacks will not be counted if the rules are not followed! Good luck and have fun jumping! :)

San Diego is in and ready... I am a physical educator and I have been rounding up people f/ Kiwains Club, Veterans of Foreign War, and others like church groups to help witness/officiate the event. Yes, follow the paperwork carefully so your JUMP will count...Aloha and good luck

We are gathering people of all ages on the South Lawn of Embassy of Sweden/House of Sweden along the Potomac in Georgetown at 9:00 am Wed., Oct. 12th to jump for one minute to help break the record.

omg i am so up for this but on problem i can't do it so my family/school can't do it i am sorry.But if i knew about it early i would do it!

That's sounds WICKED. I wish I could do it!! Maybe I'll get a bunch of friends together or something?
