Fittest School Challenge

Does your school have what it takes to earn the title of
“FITTEST SCHOOL IN THE NATION“?

The Fittest School Challenge is a curriculum-based challenge that requires the students to go on a “mission” to develop healthy eating and exercise habits. During the 10-week challenge (usually from September 15 – December 5) the students need to complete assignments that will have them eating more of certain nutrients along with establishing the exercise routines from the student workbook. They will learn from their own experience how each of the Top Six Nutrients affect their body.

Each of the assignments is aligned with existing reading, writing and math standards for schools’ core curriculum. This reinforces what teachers are teaching, rather than distracting from it. This integrated approach results in increased knowledge of nutrition, improved academic performance, and increased attendance.

Once the Mission is complete, we typically have a Grand Finale event in each school district or municipal area to see which school is the fittest, and then a State Grand Finale for each state! We then have a National Grand Finale to select the Fittest School in the Nation!
