Those are just a few of the healthy living activities
connected with this year’s It’s Time Texas Community Challenge, supported by
H-E-B and already under way through the Spring Branch ISD Health Fitness
department.
There’s a reason why SBISD employees will want to join a
new year’s commitment to living healthier, beyond the obvious personal rewards.
The winning community in each separate competition level, or category size, can
win a $1,800 grant to use for future health efforts.
That’s in addition to the trophy, school district banner,
Texas Governor’s certificate, web banner and badge, and free registrations to a
2017 Summit celebration that the winning community receives. Let’s be the
healthiest school district ever!
The 2017 Community Challenge began Jan. 9 and it remains
open through March 31. There is plenty of time yet to get fit, shed pounds and get
started on a new you – and a new SBISD!
SBISD Advanced Movers Coordinator Samuel Karns reports
that the district this year picked the name “Piney Point Village” for
registration and competition use. “We do have six villages, and so last year we
decided to go with one village when registering so that Spring Branch ISD was
not competing against itself,” he said. SBISD earns 1,000 points for each
participant that registers.
There are a number of ways to earn points once you register.
“There are different entities for participation, and these include individuals,
schools, mayors and city council, businesses and other organizations, and faith
based organizations,” Karns said.
