The Brunswick Wellness Challenge is a district-wide initiative designed to support staff's physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
This challenge is:
Voluntary
Inclusive of all fitness levels
Focused on movement and healthy habits, not weight loss
The goal is to build community, reduce burnout, and model healthy lifestyles for our students.
The Brunswick Wellness Challenge focuses on intentional movement and overall well-being.
This is not a weight-loss competition.
Instead, we are encouraging:
Consistency over intensity
Progress over perfection
Participation with a healthy level of competition
All Brunswick County Schools staff
Any role, any school
Any fitness level
Walking, running, stretching, strength training, yoga, and fitness classes are all important. We will focus on our steps per day for the healthy competition. We will be using the StepUp App.
