PPC Trophy will make another move this week.  HBOE came in first place with HKES finishing in second place.  We are experience our most competitive year of the Patriot Point Challenge.  It's anybody's trophy to win.

GOTR brrrrrrrrr!

Congrats to all of the Girls On The Run participants this past weekend! Teachers modeling wellness for our students is one of the most important aspects of The Movement.  Don't forget about Mercedes Marathon-another opportunity to join students and raise money for a great cause, The Bell Center.  Teams are forming NOW!

Four Weeks and Four Different Winners

HBOE, SCES, HKES, HMS and now back to SCES.  The Patriot Point Trophy is moving around town.  HHS and Edgewood have some work to do.  For those of you who have forgotten how this thing works, here is a quick summary.  Each week your team is graded in four categories based on exercise.  30 minutes equals 1 Patriot Point.
1.  Average Patriot Points
2.  Percent Increase of Patriot Points
3.  Participation
4.  Percent Increase of Participation

Every post of Patriot Points is important to your team's success.
