Christmas Challenges

We are doing something fun during these crazy 3 weeks before Christmas break. Of course we will have exciting events for the students (parties, choir concerts, programs), and we are doing a 12 Days of Christmas mailbox surprise for all of the staff for those 12 days leading up to Christmas break. However we are also undertaking a Christmas challenge each day as well. It is how the staff can earn jeans/warm ups/comfy clothes with their holiday or spirit shirts (perfect time of year & weather for this!!)

In our Christmas Challenge, the staff members must agree to perform the task listed in order to wear their jeans, etc. I post the daily challenge on our Staff Site. This is a website I've created to keep our staff up to date. It has a weekly blog for the daily events and reminders, a page with different forms and helpful information (so they don't have to spend time searching), and a home page for general pictures and info.

I'm attaching a screenshot of a few days that show our Christmas Challenge. I hope you can see it. On days where people will get treats in their boxes, I am going to have my office elves make sure that all staff get something. Some of the days' challenges are focused on staff, and some of the days' challenges are focused on students. All of the activities will increase the positive attitude! It has been fun to get this started, and I know it will help with staff morale over a stressful, busy time of year!
