The Sting
I volunteered with Upward Basketball this year and I am loving it! My team is called the STING, after the WNBA team and I have 4th-6th grade girls. They are so enthusiastic and willing to learn. Many have never played but they have some natural athleticism. Of course a major objective of Upward to bring the players to Christ and to learn about sportsmanship and leadership.
We have started an office edition of the biggest loser at work as a worksite wellness program.
There are 8 teams of 3 and each player puts in $20 and the individual that loses the largest percent of body weight gets the money. This is one of the best participation rates that we have ever had in this building and it is getting intense. We have seen an increase in celery sticks and walking clubs. And yet, lots of chocolate candy lying around (to tempt other teams ). There are team challenges every Thursday and we just had our first one. We did a Wii Just Dance challenge and they loved it. We FINALLY found something that works - money! of course! All the programs we do require a budget of $0 dollars so this is an inventive way to get great incentives at no cost to the department.
This is a sneak peak into the upstairs bathroom makeover.
It is a VERY slow process as I have only been able to work on it on Saturdays so far.
There will definitely be future posts about it :)
I am looking forward to the future posts on the bathroom make over. You always do such neat things, Margo. Gr. B.
ReplyDeleteWhat a worthwhile project you are doing with the Stings. I hope they do well. It is a great concept for bringing these girls to Christ. I am so glad you are doing this. Gr. B.
