Mission: Healthy Kids, a partnership of Kohl’s Cares® and Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, is excited to invite all Wisconsin K-12 schools to take part in the Spring 2018 Healthy Schools Challenge: Healthy Minds. The challenge is free, and it offers educators fun and interactive ways to introduce or continue to implement healthy minds practices in your classrooms. The challenge takes place March 15-April 30, 2018.
You can choose from three outlined challenges (Daily Mindfulness, Mindful Journal or Reducing Screen Time), or create your own. Beginning March 15, you can register and get started here. The challenge guidelines are easy to follow, and a Challenge Summary Rubric is included to guide you through the process. Submit your Challenge Summary by April 30, 2018 to qualify for one of 20 classroom awards. In addition, three special $500 awards, designed to further work with policy, systems and environmental changes focused on healthy minds, will also be awarded.
A limited number of free Healthy Schools Challenge Classroom kits will be mailed out after you register your class, on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Kits include resources, posters, giveaway items and a Hoberman Sphere.
