SCOE Fitness Challenge 2010!
SCOE’s "Fitness Challenge," now in its fifth year, is branching out reaching even more organizations!  This year Kaiser Permanente and Modesto Rotary are joining the Fitness Challenge along with Stanislaus County Government and school districts throughout the county.  SCOE is again challenging San Joaquin and Tuolumne County Offices of Education to a COE Fitness Challenge.  The County Office "All Star" team with the most points will be awarded the perpetual trophy. 

For four weeks, beginning February 1 - 28, 2010 each county office will conduct a "Fitness Challenge" using a shared point chart, rules & information and FAQ sheet. SCOE’s Fitness Challenge will operate the same as in the previous four years with weekly tracking of team points. 

The "Fitness Challenge," which is completely voluntary, is open to ALL SCOE staff and students of SCOE programs.  The idea behind the challenge is to have a fun, competitive activity with a healthy focus.  While there is no obligation or expectation for anyone to participate -- for those who do -- we promise a great time!

Here's a quick rundown of how the challenge works.

  • Participants are divided into teams by departments or school
  • Each team has a minimum of five people - there is no maximum
  • Each team selects a team captain and a team name
  • At the end of each week team members turn in their points to the team captain - team captains post the team point averages each Monday by 5:00 p.m. - questions??? call 238-1709 or email Judy Leitz at jleitz@stancoe.org
For four weeks, beginning February 1 through the 28th, 2010, team members will keep a record of points earned based on a Fitness Point Chart (see links listed above).  Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams at the March 9th Board Meeting.  In addition, a Perpetual Fitness Challenge Trophy will go the first place team!  Last year's Fitness Challenge winner was Mean, Lean, Green Machine - Business Services, and the wining County Office of Education was SCOE!  A new agreement was reached between the three superintendents and this year each of the COE's are submitting an 'All Star' Team comprised of 5% of their staff.  This means that SCOE needs a team of 47 volunteer members.  Call 238-1709 with any questions or to be on the team.

Look over the point chart to see just how fun and easy this activity can be.  If your department/school is interested in participating, please contact Judy Leitz by January 20 to let her know who will represent you at the Team Meeting.
