Move it, Mavericks! 2021

Let's get moving, Mavericks! The entire Nueva lower school community (students, families, faculty, and staff) is invited to join in this virtual challenge to see how many miles we can each log through Friday, June 11.  Click the register button above and then get ready to log your progress. 

This event is about active movement, not just running or walking. If you are not doing a distance based activity, it still counts! Simply convert the amount of time you spend in any sporting activity into miles at the rate of 15minutes = 1 mile. It could be jump rope, team sports, swimming, horse riding, trampoline… whatever way of
moving suits you.

There are no winners or losers in this event. We're doing this as a community to promote and cheer each other on as we each try to reach our individual goals. Maybe it's tallying a 10k, half marathon, marathon, or more (!), or maybe it's just getting out for a little bit every day. However far you want to go, we're all pulling for you.

The Nueva LS Community Committee have found two amazing charities for us to team up with to add a little more motivation for our efforts.  The "Donate" button above allows you to contribute directly to either of these organizations. You can also set up a personal, customizable fundraising page that you can use in your efforts to support these charities. The two charities with whom we are partnering are:

• Defenders of Wildlife - dedicated to the protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities
• United Ways of California Covid-19 Relief Fund - helping vulnerable families impacted by quarantine, disruption of income, and other challenges

And we love photos of our community working towards their goals. Click on the 'Photos' tab above to upload any pictures you would like to share. Inspire us!

The first twenty kids to log more than 26.2 miles will get a FREE Mavericks Move It T-Shirt. And the NPA will donate $1 per mile to the charity funds for the first 1500 miles. So what are you waiting for? EVERY bit of effort counts. Let’s get moving, Mavericks!
