The Final Results: March For A Cure Challenge - 2017

LYS Nation, you outdid yourself!  Your challenge was to visit classrooms to beat cancer, and you really stepped up.  In March, individually you visited a total of 16,469 classrooms (exceeding last year’s total by 4,504), which equates to a donation of $823.45

Then five LYSers met the 200 PowerWalks Challenge, which adds another $50.00 to the donation.

As for campuses, the following 16 schools made the March Cancer Fightin’ PowerWalks Hero list.

PowerWalks Hero Schools (January 2016)

In furtherance of a LYS Nation tradition, we will take this time to tip our caps to the campuses that have embraced the most important step in creating and maintaining an action oriented professional learning community.  These are the campuses that have conducted an extraordinary number of formative classroom observations in a given month.  For the month of January, the PowerWalks Hero School Targets were as follows:

January Hero School Targets

High Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations

Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 120 PowerWalks Observations

Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 100 PowerWalks Observations

Alternative Schools – 50 PowerWalks Observations

With the shorter month and the always present ‘bad weather days’, we will adjust the February targets to the following levels:

February Hero School Targets

High Schools – 135 PowerWalks Observations

Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 105 PowerWalks Observations

Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 90 PowerWalks Observations

Alternative Schools – 45 PowerWalks Observations

In January, all of the schools using the PowerWalks Instructional Observation System conducted a total of 13,738 classroom observations. A commendable job, LYS Nation! But now, without further ado, here are your forty-one PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of January 2016.  Congratulations!!!
