Game On! The Ultimate Wellness Challenge
In addition to daylight saving time, March brings the perfect time to track and share your success stories and thank the people on your wellness team who have helped your students do amazing things. So this month we challenge you to listen, track, share and thank!
Send home a letter to parents that shares all of the "Amazing Things" your students have
done. Include challenges they've met, results they've tracked, and school wellness initiatives involving their kids.
Display student success stories on a Do Amazing Thingsbulletin board.
School wellness is a team effort! Recognize the volunteers and staff members who are helping students Do Amazing Things!
Get Ready for a New Season!
Next year's School Wellness Kits will ship in October with a different look and a brand new name. Look for enrollment instructions in the coming weeks or go to SchoolWellnessKit.org for information and updates beginning in April.
