March flew by and we are moving on to April.  There are only two wellness challenges left for the 2022 – 2023 school year.  If you have not completed any yet, please try and do these last two to get your wellness points.

April Challenge

I would also like to offer that this month if you come to a morning staff intramurals session you can count that for one week in April – and only have to do three sets of nine items.

*****Staff intramurals and social activity at night – many staff members have been asking for a night session of pickleball so they do not have to get up extra early before school. Please see the following flyer about an upcoming first time event in May.  If this is a success – we can try and do a session next year in the fall, winter and spring.

Pizza and pickleball

Make the most of the two full months left in the school year.  We got this!!!!!   Keep it up!!!!  Rise above!!!!

Happy March!  Hard to believe we only have three staff wellness challenges left this school year.  I continue to be impressed with the dedication to the challenges  and appreciate being a part of the ELANCO team.  Thank you for all of your efforts in the classroom and with the wellness challenges.

I compiled the list of recipes from the January challenge  – Recipes for January

Welcome to the month of giving. November is here and with it brings the opportunity to be more thankful.  The holiday season is upon us and taking care of your health should be a priority so you are strong and ready to go.  Please give the November wellness challenge a try.  Become a champion for your own health.

November challenge

Have a wonderful November and a well deserved Thanksgiving break.  I am thankful for each of you and what you bring to our district.

Please email your October results.

October and fall have arrived.  Time to get out and enjoy the crisp air and the changing of seasons.  I have created a new three part challenge. If you would like to subsitute a fall activity such as hiking, picking apples(and then making something with them), or doing a corn maze with family or friends for one of the three parts please let me know.  All of these activities are also wonderful for your overall health and will also bring you great memories.

Make October outstanding and continue to support the staff around you.  Please take care of each other and that positive energy and kindness will go a long way in how we deal with our stress.

October Challenge 22-23
