The Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports announced its Governor’s Challenge Competition, challenging schools across the state to re-commit themselves to their students’ fitness and well being.
The Governor’s Council will provide one school in each of the state’s 11 regions with $1,000 awards for physical activity equipment and will provide the winning school a brand new fitness center. Awards made possible by the Blue Cross of California Foundation.
How to participate and win
To participate in the 2007 Governor’s Challenge Competition a school must have students sign up for and complete the Governor’s Challenge by May 31st, 2007 - the Governor’s Challenge is to be active 30-60 minutes a day at least three days a week for four weeks. The schools with the highest percentage of students completing the Governor’s Challenge in each of California’s 11 regions will be named regional award winners and finalists for the competition’s grand prize, a brand new fitness center.
To win the Governor’s Challenge Competition grand prize a school will need to be selected as a regional award winner, demonstrate a strong commitment to promoting healthy eating, and make a compelling case as to why a new fitness center would significantly benefit its students. The California Nutrition Network will help determine which regional award winner has the policies and practices in place to promote healthy eating most effectively.
How to sign up
Students and teachers should go to www.CalGovCouncil.org to sign up for the Governor’s Challenge and participate in the Governor’s Challenge Competition. When signing up for the Challenge, students and teachers will be prompted to enter their school’s name.
Student Incentives and Rewards
Thanks to generous support from General Mills each student completing the Governor’s Challenge will earn an official certificate of completion signed by Governor Schwarzenegger and a patch of the Governor’s Council seal. High school students signing up for the Governor’s Challenge will be able to work out for free at 24 Hour Fitness facilities during selected times (see www.CalGovCouncil.org for more details).
