More than 300 staff from 19 elementary, middle and high schools participated in the first Be Active Schools Staff Challenge this fall. The Challenge encouraged school staff to report the amount of physical activity that they received each week. Participants received a weekly newsletter with tips to keep their motivation going throughout the challenge. Prizes were awarded to the top individuals, teams, school and school with the highest staff participation.
The friendly competition offered an opportunity for school staff to learn many healthy new habits and ways they can be more physically active. Motivated by the Challenge, individual winner Staci Creech now serves as a volunteer with Be Active NC to encourage others to make physical activity a part of their lifestyle.
Congratulations to the winners!
