Nob Hill Students Finish their Nighthawk Strong Challenge

 

Nob Hill Elementary focused this year on teaching students to create and reach goals and how to break down long-term goals into reachable short-term goals. Staff and students focused on achieving goals in three areas of student life: body, mind, and family/community. To support this effort, the NHE Specialist Team created the “Nighthawk Strong Challenge” for the 2021-22 school year:   

-To strengthen the body: run 30 miles during our weekly Mileage Club (do running)

-To strengthen the mind: read 30 books or achieve 30 points with the Accelerated Reading program (do reading)

-To strengthen the community: do 30 good deeds for family or in the community (do right).   

Families supported this effort by helping to track the books read and the “do rights” completed in the home and community.  All our students participated in mileage club; some students completed the reading portion; others served in the family/community, but we had 49 students complete the entire 30/30/30 Nighthawk Strong Challenge! 

To celebrate and finish this challenge, the entire school went on a field trip to Zaepfel Stadium to run the last mile together. The students who met every goal of the challenge received special recognition and all NHE students earned a Nighthawk Strong t-shirt! Congratulations to our challenge champions:
