Spring is almost here – longer and warmer days are on the way.  Take some time to get outside and enjoy the month of March.

Hard to believe we only have three more wellness challenges this year.  Here is your monthly challenge for March.

March Wellness

Good luck and I hope you have an amazing March.  Treat a coworker to a Shamrock Shake:)

Please send me your February wellness results.

Welcome February – longer days and hopefully some warmer days!!! Hard to believe this is the sixth staff wellness challenge already.  Thank you for participating, I enjoy reading the results each month.  Keep up the great work and continue to make the most of each day.    Try and work on your heart health this month with some added cardio to your day.  This is not part of the challenge – but thought I would give the suggestion for heart month.

Here is the new challenge

Happy December!  Our last wellness challenge of 2021 is here.   I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation.  Time to begin one of our busiest months of the year.  The wellness challenge this month is geared to improve your stress levels and maintain a positive attitude.   Have fun and enjoy.

November Wellness

Wow – super hard to believe October is here  this week.    I would like to applaud each of you for working through all of the challenges we did not think would be as large this school year.  Please know that you are making a difference every day even though it might not seem like it at the time.  Continue to take baby steps and do what you have to do to stay healthyand positive.  Support your coworkers on a daily basis and make each other laugh – we could all use some laughter.

I have the October challenge attached for you.  Please send me your September results in an email.

Take some time to get out and enjoy the amazing fall weather and the incredible fall colors.

October Wellness

Have an outstanding October.

Welcome back to the 2021-2022 school year.  Our word for the wellness challenges this year will be passionate.  We are heading into another uncertain school year and I know each of you will rise to the challenge like last year.  I am proud to be a part of the ELANCO family and appreciate how hard each of you work.  Thank you for everything you do each day to make ELANCO a wonderful district.

Please take a look at this month’s wellness challenge and get involved and participate.  My goal is to have as many staff members as we can participate in the monthly challenges.  Have fun with them and help to improve your overall wellness.

Have a terrific school year.  Be strong – be grateful and smile often.:)

May is here and so is the last wellness challenge of the school year.   Congratulations on all of your efforts this year in and out of the classroom.  This has been a year unlike any other in our careers and you should be proud of your accomplishments.  I only have two parts to this challenge. I know May is full of enough stress already, so I did not want to add to that.
