You're invited to join the Special 2005 Fall Edition of the Wisconsin Governor's Challenge focused on our state's schools!

WHAT IS IT?
The Special Fall Edition of the Wisconsin Governor's Challenge is a series of programs designed to help improve anyone's activity level. Joining a group is a great way to make staying active easy.

WHY JOIN?
Staying active with other students can be a lot of fun. They'll help keep you motivated - even when you don't really feel like it. Groups are a great way to meet new people. There are even programs for people at different activity levels: the Active Lifestyle program aimed at beginners and the Presidential Champions program for those who are already active.

Signing up for a group is simple. And there's no limit to how many you can belong to. You can join or leave at any time. All you have to do is register. It's quick, and it's FREE!

2006 School Challenge Get your students moving in the Special Fall Edition of the Challenge!

The Wisconsin Governor's Challenge is pleased to partner with the Office of Governor Jim Doyle and Trek Bicycle Corporation on an exciting initiative designed to get kids more active. It's a special edition of the Wisconsin Governor's Challenge and we're challenging classrooms across Wisconsin to participate in the challenge.

Through the Challenge, students will participate in activities that can be done at school and at home to build physical activity into their daily routine, encouraging them to make a lifelong commitment to active, healthy living.

Completing the challenge is fun and easy…just do 60 minutes of physical activity, five days a week for six weeks (or more!) between September 4 and December 8, 2006. Challenge other school in your school district to participate too!
