Dear Helen,
Thank you so much for allowing the educational outreach program at the Chicago International Film Festival to screen your documentary film JUMP! We were able to screen this film to 200 inner-city Chicago public school students who absolutely adored this film!
Each year during the Chicago International Film Festival we host special educational outreach screenings free of charge for Chicago Public High-School Students. Students are able to enjoy the film and engage in a post-screening Q & A with community members who are knowledgeable on the films’ topics. This year we were proud to be able to screen your remarkable documentary JUMP! It inspired and thrilled the audience members!
Teachers and students who participated in the screening commented on how this screening was one of the most exciting field trip experiences they had in a long time! They also commented on the jumpers commitment to community and the sport of jump rope; they were inspired to get physically fit with the jump ropes you and American Family Insurance provided for each student who attended!
I would like to again thank Helen and the jumpers for inspiring in Chicago’s young people a greater commitment to health and community!
Sincerely,
Charlotte King
Education Program Administrator
