Ada Schools is excited to join this NEW 90-day challenge for students in grades 4–8. 💪 Students are receiving program details this week, Sept. 15th. The program walks them through setting personal wellness goals in three key areas: Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Sleep.

At the end of the challenge, every participant will receive a certificate signed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jim Tressel! 🏅

Students will get reminders during certain class times, but it’s up to them to track progress and achieve their goals outside of school.

How it Works

Students will progress through three levels—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—selecting from a menu of activities, using their challenge workbook, in each of the core areas: physical activity, nutrition, and sleep.

The challenge is specifically designed for students to complete individually, outside of the classroom. Flexibility is built in for schools that wish to play a more active role in the challenge during the school day.

How to Get Involved:

Parents, family members, and community organizations are encouraged to participate in the challenge and support students and schools as they work toward their goals.
