Busy week for The Movement. We started with our 2nd Annual Walk to O Henry's. Wednesday, we participated in Michelle Obama's Let's Move Guinness World Record Jumping Jack attempt (above picture from HHS, combined numbers from HHS and HMS =over 1700 participants). Tomorrow, we will finish our week with Race for the Cure. Thanks to everyone who Moved this week at our events. Not only have we improved our personal health and wellness with our activities, but we have also modeled wellness for our students. Win/Win! While our group efforts are important, the individual efforts you make daily continue to make a huge impact. This morning after Spin class, one of the participants, who happens to be a former student/HHS Graduate, came up to me and said, "Coach Spurlock, I almost didn't come today, but I heard Becky Salls in my head and she made me get here!". Another instance of encouragement happened recently at HMS, when a teacher suggested a "Moving Meeting" instead of sitting and waisting an opportunity to earn Patriot Points. Finally, HBOE employees walked to the homecoming parade instead of driving! Those type of lifestyle changes are the small decisions leading up to big results.
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner-I will be surprising a teacher this afternoon. THE POSTER CHILD Surprise Attack will occur after lunch. I'll be running in a classroom, with a gift certificate to a Homewood restaurant. This week our Surprise Attack is awarded to a first time poster of Patriot Points.
This week The Patriot Point Challenge trophy will continue to rest comfortably at HBOE. Leading the Way is our weekly winner. Highlights of the week=HMS improved participation by 5%, Hall Kent improved by 7%. Top two finishers Leading the Way 21, Shaping up Shades 19
