Challenger Week Comes to A Close

“Challenger Week” is coming to an end sadly, but the Champions have an exciting day ahead. Every Friday we have our Celebration of Learning. At this time, the Champions get to share with their parents and peers what they did and learned in class this week. It is also a time where the Champions can relax and enjoy each other’s company. We close the Celebration of Learning by announcing the campers of the week. These students are chosen by the teachers, counselors, MAT’s and CIT’s. The campers chosen as “Explorers of the Week” last week include Jasmine Valenciano, Gabby Wilson, Kayla Adams, Bianca Cole, Summer Hurst, and Darrel Edwards. Once again, Congratulations! While these 6 students were individually recognized, all of the campers are Champions and we foresee only great things in their future! Friendly reminder – There is no class on Monday! We hope everyone in the Challenge and Champions family has a wonderful and safe 4^th of July!

I Can't Be A Leader If I'm Not A Learner

Yesterday’s challenge was to think about the qualities one would want in a leader; this morning we discussed those qualities. In today’s society, being a leader is very important. Every student in Challenge and Champions has leadership qualities. Being a leader is synonymous with being a role model. A leader is a person that not only rises above the occasion but helps those around them reach their potential. The Champions also thought that being respectful, trustworthy, loyal, enthusiastic, and a good listener are important qualities a leader should have. Today’s challenge is to learn about another Champion’s culture. Because our society is so diverse, it is essential that we respect our peers despite any differences. When we learn about another culture, we gain new insight and perspective. The Champions continue to work hard in their academic and Physical Education classes as “Challenger Week” comes to a close.

Challenge & Champions Check-Up

Just a small recap of what's been going on so far.

Challenger Week: Day 2

On Monday, we kicked off our "Challenger Week" with team building. The Champions played "Hot Chocolate",  a team building exercise. They had to execute proper communication skills by using paper plates, the" marshmallows", to travel to the other side of the "hot chocolate river". Everyone participated and worked well together. The Champions are also learning about sportsmanship and teamwork in physical education to tie in with their team building exercise.This is vital as they begin to intensely compete in different activities as they prepare for the "Olympic Games" throughout next week. During  Morning Assembly, Dr. Karen challenged the campers to learn everyone's name and something interesting about them. Dr.Karen gave the campers a week and two days to complete the 'Director's Challenge'.Good Luck to the participants!

Another Day At Challenge and Chamopions

It is a another wonderful day at Challenge and Champions and this morning we would like to welcome back our 5 year participant, Langston Daniels. We would also like to thank the campers and staff for making this morning go by so swiftly. Classes are going well so far as it's been said, and the snack was very interesting, a new trail mix with craisins instead of raisin, but the Camper's seemed enjoyed it. As the day goes on we should expect more progress in preparing for a better tomorrow. Enjoying activities, such as the Team Build Exercise this Afternoon, like our last one which was learning each other's names without talking.... A little difficult but fun!!!  Thank you for reading, Now go and Challenge yourself to be a Champion.
