We've created this step-by-step program checklist as a guide for what comes next with the Strong4Life Challenge Program. After you've designated your Wellness Champions and completed your enrollment survey, reference your next steps below. We will also be sending monthly emails with brain break videos and other resources to help your school take on the challenge!

What to do in the fall

  • Add Challenge events to the school calendar.
    Strong4Life will send calendar invites to the Wellness Champion team and principals with agreed-upon dates. Add these to your master calendar so all teachers are informed.
  • Send the Challenge caregiver letter home.
    This document informs school families about your participation in the program and encourages them to practice healthy habits at home.
  • Host the kickoff event.
    On your scheduled date, play the kickoff video on morning announcements or as part of another schoolwide event to introduce the program and Challenge Team to students, teachers and staff members.
  • Distribute Challenge resources.
    Following the kickoff event, display Strong4Life posters around your school and distribute Strong4Life water bottles to all students, teachers and staff members.
  • Host fall Challenge Pep Rally.
    Encourage all teachers and staff to attend the fun-filled event.
  • Complete the midyear survey.
    Strong4Life emails the survey to the Wellenss Captain in December. Gather feedback from your school and share with us.

What to do in the spring

  • Play the spring follow-up visit teaser video.
    The day before your spring follow-up visit, play the teaser video to get the school excited about your upcoming visit from the Challenge Team.
  • Host spring follow-up visit.
    The Strong4Life Challenge Team returns to your school and joins normal school activities, such as morning announcements, PE and lunch.
  • Complete the feedback survey.
    Following your spring visit, Strong4Life will email the survey to the Wellness Captain. We value all feedback to help us improve our programs and resources.
