Physical fitness is an integral part of the curriculum at the Bright School. Bright Fit Week is all about keeping families healthy and moving.
During the week, P.E. classes have a theme and special guest each day. Monday is tennis with Dottie Sorrick. Tuesday is the UTC wrestling team doing jump rope and other activities. On Wednesday, Sodexo will have a granola snack bar at lunch. Thursday features Outdoor Chattanooga, and Friday is an oral health lesson by school nurse Mary Catherine Robbins.
Students and parents can earn tickets for a chance to win several prizes by completing various activities during the week such as exercising for 30 minutes a day and trying a new healthy food at breakfast or dinner. Prizes include a Meerkat bike from Cleary Bicycles worth $700, a bowling party, UNICEF band, giant stuffed hamster, health coaching, $100 Whole Foods gift card and gym visits.
Bright Fit Night on Friday includes 20 vendors representing companies that offer child-friendly physical activities. Parents and students can complete an activity at each booth for more tickets.
A drawing for the prizes will be held on Monday, May 2.
