Local schools challenged to create videos to highlight wellness efforts, community asked to vote
Each February, University of Colorado Health's Healthy Kids Club holds the Schools on the Move Challenge where northern Colorado schools compete by keeping track of healthy habits and activity.
Prize money is awarded to the top schools, in different categories, to use toward physical education equipment or school wellness initiatives.
