6am Hoopsters Going Strong

  The  league is up to 20 participants who have taken advantage of this Movement opportunity.    In the picture, Alison G. displays her war wounds, but you should have seen her performance on the boards!   Officer Fox is always available to "keep the peace"  =)  In the final game Megan K. hit the winning shot from deep.  Next week I will post a training program for our May 7th HCS Spirit Scamper 5K/10K and 1 mile fun run.  The 5K is walker friendly, the 10K will be competitive and the 1 miler is for kids!  EVERYONE has a place to participate.  Registrations forms will be available at your schools and on the Wellness Blog this week .  Let's MOVE!

Mercedes and The Movement

What a difference a year makes!  Our participation in Mercedes Marathon was incredible this year=50 HCS employees  ran the course.  Eight relay teams, several half and full marathoners, a water and GU stop organized by Megan Kerstiens and HHS students/faculty.  Along the course, Matt's mom was one of the loudest cheerleaders.  If you don't know the history of Mercedes, take a moment to read the story on the Mercedes Marathon website.  Just an awesome experience with so many benefits. The modeling of healthy lifestyles is where The Movement really begins to create a culture change for our school community.  Thanks to all the participants and support crews throughout training and completing Mercedes.  We will organize a picture for all participants systemwide-please check email for time/place later this week. 

Schedule for Movement opportunities this week:

Thursday 6am Basketball,  Thursday 4:15-5pm Spin, Thursday 3:45 Zumba

Friday 6am Superspinners

Scaleback, Mercedes, Basketball

Busy week in The Movement!  We have the CNP Divas, the Eskimos, Team G2G=Good To Great and so many more teams competing in Scaleback Alabama.  At HHS, it has been fun to watch teammates partner up and train.  One of our teams has decided to do a "walking lunch".  I noticed a member of our custodial staff walking laps with one of our counselors during their lunch break.  Keep up the good work.  Thursday morning basketball is up and running.  Get here on Thursdays @ 6am for some pick-up basketball.  I still have a job, even though I set a really hard screen on Dr. Cleveland.  =)  Mercedes Marathon is Sunday, February 13th.  I am so thrilled for our employees who will participate in this event.  Wear your medals and T-shirts to school on on Monday, February 14th.  We will get together for a team photo sometime during the week after Mercedes.
