About
This six-week team challenge is designed to promote wellness among students and staff at Lakes. Why? Because we care about you! And because we know this is about the time of year when many of us start to feel the winter blues and need a little extra oomph to get us through the day.
Throughout the challenge, we’ll focus on leading a balanced life by completing activities in these five areas:
|
We'll be using the app GooseChase to track your points throughout the challenge.
|
Who is eligible?
The entire Lakes community is invited to participate in the Eagles Wellness Challenge. You will form teams of between two and five people — all students, all staff members, or a combination of students and staff. The more people you have on your team, the more opportunities to earn points.
When can I sign up?
The registration period will occur from February 25–March 1. Don’t forget to come up with a clever team name.
Earning and Tracking Your Points
We're going to ask you to use the app GooseChase to keep track of your activities and points. Activities will be set up as "missions" in the app. For each mission you complete, you will have to provide evidence in the form of a text, photo, video, or GPS check-in. The app automatically will calculate your points. The leaderboard will be "live" throughout the challenge, so you always will know where you and your teammates stand.
Bonus Points
Because we're using GooseChase, bonus points will be a little different this year. Look for the words "Bonus Point Opp" in your mission list to see how you and your teammates can earn bonus points throughout the challenge.
Tiebreaker
In the event of a tie, the amount of bonus points earned will be the first tiebreaker. Should a tie still exist, we will do a to-be-determined tie breaker activity.
Prizes
We will hold a weekly raffle with great prizes. Anyone who registers for the challenge and stays active by earning points each week is automatically eligible to win. Past prizes have included gift certificates to Suzy's Swirl and Kristof's Entertainment Center as well as VIP tickets to the school musical.
You also will earn prizes for achieving the following milestones throughout the challenge:
Each member of the winning team(s) will receive a wellness basket / bag. The top individual point earners who were NOT on the winning team will earn a prize, too. That means, even if your team isn't doing well, you could still win a prize if you stick with the program!
Kick-off Event
Attend our Eagles Wellness Challenge Kick-off on Thursday, February 28! It will take place in the ILC during your lunch study hall or before school at 7 a.m. and after school at 3 p.m. We will go over the rules of the Eagles Wellness Challenge and discuss setting personal goals.
