PowerUp School Challenge
What you can expect from PowerUp:
Early experiences help shape habits, preferences and a sense of self. The PowerUp School Challenge creates space for students to explore what helps them feel their best through simple, intentional activities built into the school day. Even small opportunities to try something new can make a meaningful impact over time. This approach is:
​
-
flexible and easy to adapt to your classroom
-
designed to fit into your existing schedule
-
focused on easy but meaningful experiences
-
supportive of student well-being and classroom connection

How It Works
A simple, flexible way to bring well-being into the classroom.

​
After participating, educators complete a short survey to reflect on their experience and share how they brought well-being into their classroom.
​
*Limited print materials and incentives are available for qualifying Minnesota and Wisconsin schools.
Over the course of a month, teachers guide students through three well-being activities that feel meaningful for their classroom. Activities can come from PowerUp or your own ideas, whatever works best for your class.
