The Out of the Darkness Campus Walk challenges are starting today at DCHS. Key Club is challenging the other sports teams/clubs at DCHS to see who can get the most involved in this year's Out of the Darkness Campus Walk. Challenge #1: Whichever club/sports team can raise the most money for the American Foundation for Suicide prevention will win an Ice Cream Social or Pizza Party. Starting today, we challenge our fellow student leaders and athletes to register as teams and see who can raise the most before the May 7th event. The second challenge is for the student body as a whole. We would like to see our study body getting more active as being physically active leads to more positive mental health. Challenge #2: We want to see who in the study body as a whole can track over 200 personal hours of activity over the next 2 months. The two winners, with the most physical activity, will get $20.00 gift cards. Minutes/hours that count for the challenge are exercises like hiking, jogging, weights, yoga, etc... We will base the winners off the personal account portal on the walk page, so you must register for the walk to be part of the competition. The DCHS Key Club looks forward to seeing as many of you participating in our challenges as possible. If you have questions, contact Ms. Fawns or a Key Clubber. http://www.afsp.org/DawsonCo
