"Rock Your Way" Challenge WINNERS!

As all of our participants begin packing away their ‘blue suede shoes,’ we say goodbye to yet another successful faculty and staff challenge. The conclusion of the “Rock Your Way to Wellness” challenge brought about the celebration of 19 winners within 3 different teams. The staff ladies from the science building, known as the Science Saints, quickly became winners after tracking the most points at an outstanding 795,732 steps. Team members include Amanda Nix, Kristen Reedy, Pam Olson, Cathy Johnson, and Renee Saamanen. After hours of calculations, the competitive walkers from College Advancement, known as the Blue Stone Rockers, took home the medal for the most log ins to the Healthy Life site with at least 35 log ins each. Team members include Carrie Emslander, Elizabeth Simonson, Janet Rosen, Lisa Roseth, Shannon Hoffman, and Aimee Fisher. Lastly, after reading and evaluating a number of fine essays, the large, 8 member team of One Token Male claimed the prize with the most thought-out and inspiring winning essay. Team members include Amanda Abrahamson, Anne Hansen, Brenda Panger, Cathy Johnson, Joe Wicklund, Joel Claseman, Laurajae Johnson, and Pam Lahti. Congratulations to each of our winners and to all that competed in this exciting, team challenge!

Confident

Confident

by Brianna Buske

               

You always hear the saying, “Confidence is key,” but what does this really entail? What does it mean to be confident? It can mean many different things for different people. A good summary of the term confident is to be sure of yourself and have no uncertainties about your abilities, correctness, or about being successful. I believe that confidence is truly believing in yourself and knowing that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. It can be difficult to be confident at times. You might have gotten a bad grade on a test or made a huge mistake during your basketball game. Be confident in yourself; get back up. Work that much harder next time to prove how well you can do. Confidence is key.

                On April 3^rd, Storm’s Advocates tabled in the Union for our personality buffs. The blue buff stands for Confidence. The other four buffs are: black=Fearless, white=Faithful, purple=Compassionate, and yellow=Hilarious. Join us again on April 24^th for the annual Reif Run! We will have a table next to the registration table for the run. If you haven’t picked up your personality buff yet, come grab one! Declare your personality and wear your buff as you strive through the run! See you there!
