BATTLE MONTH

This event involves blocking a month (a slow month like February) to allow for various noon hour challenges. You may use various events, some month long and others that last one day. Staff vs. student challenges are good spirit builders during this month long event. Produce an activity calendar that lists all of the events of Battle Month and have these calendars posted in homerooms before the events begin. This will provide reminders of the events and will allow students to refer to the upcoming events as the spirit builds.
