The Healthy High School Challenge
ends Friday October 31st. We are
currently 9th Place in the country!
However, there’s still time to help our
Student Council capture one of the 66
cash prizes and maybe even win the
top prize of $4000. Earn points by purchasing combo
meals in the cafeteria, healthy snacks or beverages on the
challenge list. Better yet, DOUBLE the points you earn by
purchasing the “featured” healthy snack, beverage or
entrée highlighted by flashing lights in the Cats Den.
Now’s the time to make our push and win the Healthy
High School Challenge! For the Latest Result, check out
