As school starts back up, we want to celebrate the AWESOME students who participated in our Fall 2025 4th Grade Challenge.
The 4th Grade Challenge is an 8-week program presented by the Mosaic- Maryville community outreach team, expert providers and caregivers, as well as community volunteers. The program is designed to educate students about healthy habits so they can implement them in their own lives and take them home to share with their families and friends.
In the fall the 4th Graders from Nodaway Holt, South Nodaway, North Nodaway, Eugune Field, and North Andrew took on the challenge and learned all about different aspects of wellness! This includes how regular physical activity, mindfulness, oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and plenty of water are keys to a healthy lifestyle. They also learned about how to***co and other smoking products are detrimental to their health.
Throughout the 8-week program the 4th graders were challenged weekly to complete a short list of health-related tasks and were given a prize each week they completed enough of the tasks. At the end of the 8-weeks the school districts who showed overall engagement received a monetary contribution to be used to promoting healthy habits within their school!
