Ideas for the School

1. Create competitions between the students and the teachers or principals.

2. Have monthly pep rallies to celebrate Milestone Markers set for the entire campus.

3. Have campus walks and have everybody on campus walk together that day – administrators, teachers, librarians, nurses, secretaries, custodians, etc.

4. Invite local “celebrities” to your pep rallies or to walk with the students that day – The Mayor, the City Council, Spurs, Olympians, Missions, local TV personalities, musicians, doctors, parents, etc. The San Antonio Sports Foundation can be a resource for you. Contact Vanessa Richey at 210-820-2112 or vrichey@sanantoniosports.org.

5. Invite students from the high schools in your district to come walk with the students – cheerleaders, all student athletes, student councils, band members, etc. Ask the high school students to wear their uniforms or jerseys.

6. Spotlight one class in your school (bi-weekly) and award that class for meeting their two-week goal. Spotlight this class in your school newsletter or on your school website.

7. Ask your PTA to create rewards for the students each month.

8. Have guest speakers talk about the importance of exercising and eating healthy.

Overall, be creative, have a good time, and do what works for you and for your campus.
