Edgewood Finishing Strong!

EES is finishing strong in the third season of the Patriot Point Trophy competition.  This year we will include the http://www.spiritscamper.com/ 5K as our final entry for points.  The Patriot Point trophy along with the MVP from each worksite team will be awarded the final week of this school year.  Each individual employee is also eligible for the Movement Medal to be awarded at the beginning of the 2013 school year.  The Movement Medal is the big bling won by any employee of HCS who completes 4 events ( examples include 5K's, 10K's, Mercedes Relay, Marathons, Biking events, triathlons) and the Spirit Scamper.  Be sure to register for the Spirit Scamper asap.  The deadline has been extended to April 30 to allow the Tshirt design to include a tribute to the Boston Marathon.  A portion of each registration will be donated to the families of the Boston tragedy.

FINAL WEEK for SS'13 Tshirt

Spirit Scamper:  You must register by Friday of this week to be guaranteed the official Spirit Scamper Tshirt with your registration!  Don't miss out on this!  Register at www.spiritscamper.com Click on the Registration Tab.

Update on the Patriot Point Challenge.  The weekly battle for the trophy has been more heated this year than ever before.  Last week we had a three-way tie.  HBOE won on the tie breaker which was a battle to see how many teammates would register by Friday for the Spirit Scamper'13.  A little peer pressure from one of the teammates created a firestorm of registration.  16 of the administrative team from HBOE registered by the Friday tiebreaker finish.  AMAZING RESPONSE!
