Healthy Choice Spirit Week is Next Week! To kickoff the Joyner (virtual) 5K we have planned “5K Healthy Choices Spirit Week”. Join us in this fun celebration! 04/26 Monday: “Rainbow Day.” Wear as many colors as possible (or pick your favorite food and wear all of that color!) and challenge yourself to eat as many different (natural) colors of food as you can at each meal. Can you eat and wear all the colors of the rainbow today?! 04/27 Tuesday: “Tired Tuesday, Pajama Day!” Celebrate the importance of getting enough sleep! 04/28 Wednesday (Asynchronous Day), “Wellness Wednesday”. Do something that you enjoy – go for a walk, bike ride, read a book, draw, listen to music. Bonus: read a book that celebrates someone who represents or encourages healthy living (a farmer, doctor, athlete, etc) 04/29 Thursday: “Athletic Thursday”. Come ready to play! Wear the gear or uniform for your favorite way to get active (soccer uniform, yoga gear, dance warm ups, bball or football jersey or even represent your favorite team). 04/30 Friday: “Fun Friday, JYJ gear / blue and gold day”.
