William H. Bashaw Elementary School students love to jump rope.

April 8, students in grades kindergarten through fifth took turns jumping rope, while their friends smiled and whipped the ropes around in the school's parking lot at the annual Jump for Fun event.

To participate, students raised funds through sponsorships, which benefited the school's art and technology departments.
