Our final wellness challenge for the 23 -24 school year is here.  I would like to thank everyone for participating.  I appreciate the effort and dedication to the monthly challenges.  I hope you finish out the year strong and have a magnificent May.  You are all amazing and I am blessed to work alongside you.

May Challenge

Keep smiling and do what you do best.

Please send me your April results.

Welcome April- only two wellness challenges left.  I would like to focus on staff wellbeing and our emotional status as we move into the home stretch.  Work together and give support when needed.  Make each other laugh and smile.  Do the little things, they will make a difference.  Be kind and continue to do your best each day.

Here is the wellness challenge for this month.

April Challenge

March Challenge

Enjoy all that March has to offer and continue to inspire those around you.  Show up each day and make it great!  Lean on each other and offer support when needed.  Together we can finish this school year on a positive, strong note!

Please send me your February results.

Welcome to February!

This month, our focus will be on our hearts and how we can keep them happy.  I hope you have settled in to the new year and are back in a routine.  At times, I do not think we appreciate what an incredible organ the heart is.  By creating this challenge, it is my hope that you realize how much better you will feel by adding a little bit of cardio into your daily life.  I also want you to realize how special doing a small gesture for others feels to both you and the recipient.  We all have busy schedules and life becomes hectic at times.  The days are starting to get longer, so take advantage of that and get outside for some fresh air and cardio. Your heart will become more efficient, and you will feel better.  Mix in the heart healthy food and posting kind words about others and your heart will be smiling.

Please send me your January results.

Have a heart healthy February.  I hope you are smiling on the inside and outside.

Happy 2024!!!!  Best wishes for an amazing year filled with many wonderful memories.   

As we begin the year 2024, I would like the challenge to inspire you to become healthier in whatever way you choose.  I have created a challenge for this month that will give you the ability to do that.  Focus on the list that you will be creating and put it in a place where you can reference it often throughout this next year.  Reflect back on 2023 and create the list moving forward into 2024.

Here is the next challenge – thanks to everyone who participates each month!!!  If you have not completed any yet – now is a great time to start.

October Staff Wellness

Hello and welcome back!! I hope you had a summer filled with a more relaxed schedule at your own pace.  I also hope the first two weeks of the year started off on a positive note.  I am excited to begin a new year of wellness challenges and hope to add new activities for staff wellness throughout the year.  I admire each of you and enjoy the connections I make through staff wellness.  Thank you in advance for all you do for the ELANCO School District – we are a team with a lot of moving parts – and together we will face the 23 – 24 school year,  as an exciting adventure with fun twists and turns along the way.  Be kind, show support and always remember to share your smile.

I am so grateful to help out with staff wellness for our district and appreciate each of your responses.  Finish off the year strong and complete the last challenge to earn some wellness points.

Enjoy May and all the fun filled work days that lead up to the last day of school.  Many are testing this month, have field days and special end of the year concerts and other activities.  Continue to support each other through this busy time.
