The Nutrition Challenge has now begun at Elizabethtown College. Students can complete four nutrition challenges in four weeks to win various prizes. The challenge is taking place from March 11 to April 17.
Participants select four different challenges and each day that a participant accomplishes the challenge for that week, a point is rewarded and recorded on the challenge sheet. Each week, the participant begins a new challenge. Although they are encouraged to continue with their healthy habits, once a week is over, they may not receive points for a previous challenge. Participants who earn at least 20 points during the four week challenge will earn an official 4 Nutrition Challenge prize.
The Nutrition Challenge was started by the Student Wellness and the Employee Wellness Team at the College. It was started to encourage faculty, staff and students to continue to develop healthier habits. There are about 150 participants, which is a much higher number than was originally anticipated.
