Be Bright Fit at School and Home

During the week, we encourage families to be fit together. As an incentive, we have several ways students can earn tickets that they put in a drawing for prizes. Parents, when your child completes an activity, fill out the ticket below and have your child bring it to school. Students may put tickets into buckets located in the front lobby.

Here are the ways to earn tickets:

  • Eat a green, orange, or purple vegetable
  • Choose one healthy food to eat at lunch
  • Ride your bike for at least 15 minutes
  • Jump rope for 1 minute
  • Floss every night this week
  • Drink at least four glasses of water
  • Eat fruit with breakfast
  • Do 10 push-ups
  • Go on a walk with your family
  • Do 40 jumping jacks
  • Make a smoothie
  • Stretch for 10 minutes
  • Plant a vegetable/fruit plant with an adult
  • Try a new sport or activity
  • Eat no sugar for one whole day
  • Learn 3 facts on ways healthy eating is important
  • Learn 3 reasons exercise is good
  • Try a vegetable you have never eaten
