Winter Warm up Challenge

By -
  Salem Lutheran School will participate in the Power up Winter Warm up challenge from January 28th-February 14th.  Each classroom will track their "active activity" they participated in each day.  As shown below the classroom teacher will keep track if their students are active at recess, an extra activity, and at home.  Then at the end of the three weeks, based on our school-wide percentage Salem Lutheran will earn PowerUp Bucks that can be utilized for gym equipment. So parents help your children remember to stay activity these cold winter days!
What is the PowerUp Winter Warm-Up Challenge?

It’s a school-wide 3-week challenge that will get students up and active throughout winter! The challenge will also encourage students to find creative ways to become active indoors or outdoors! For example, learn new skills such as cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating or playing at a PowerUp open gym.

How the Challenge works:

Each class will earn and track points for students being active throughout the challenge. Each student has the opportunity to earn 1 point per “active activity” (Recess, Extra Activity, and at Home).
The School-wide goal is based on the number of students participating and how many opportunities each student has to be active.
 Earn PowerUp Bucks for participating!

Schools can earn PowerUp Bucks which can be used towards anything sustainable that will improve the school's health environment

The middle school, where some of our students participate in after-school extra-curricular activities, would have their school day ending at 2:00.  That would mean if students left Salem for after-school activities, they could miss over 2 hours of instruction to be at the start of the middle school activities. The board’s discussion on th
