Teacher Jumps for
Get a Jump!
"I use
Get a Jump!
to counsel parents
and am teaching a
workshop based on
the book this fall at
my high school. I
always share
Get a
Jump! as one of
the best resources
in my counselor's
toolkit. In fact, I
am so impressed
with this book that
I gave it out last
November to all the
skydiving drop
zones my partner
and I visited on
a world record
challenge. I could
think of no better
gift to leave at a
drop zone where so
many young people
gather to skydive."
