2008 CHCA Olympics Teaser

One of the first things I'm implementing here in my new job here at CHCA middle school is a giant competition called CHCA Olympics. It should be a great opportunity for the students (and teachers) to connect with each other, use some creative energy, compete in a safe and fun environment, and build a more positive and encouraging culture throughout the year.

In short, CHCA Olympics will be like one big year-long Field Day. All students in the building will be divided up into four "countries" with students from each grade level. Starting on September 1st, then, each country will collectively pick a national anthem, create a national flag, choose a theme verse, and come up with various other ways to identify themselves (cheers, tshirts, mascots, etc). These choices will all be revealed during the Opening Ceremonies on September 12th, when we'll also have a Torch Relay and a Parade of Nations.

Throughout the year, then, we will have CHCA Olympic Events ... competitions where countries can earn medals for their team based on their skills, craziness, dedication, knowledge, spirit, service, and whatever other criteria we come up with. For example, we might have events called "Rock Band Tournament", "Capture the Flag Extreme", "Bible Memorization Challenge", "Intentional Acts of Kindness", or "Weird Food Breakfast". Events will sometimes happen during advisory time, sometimes for a few minutes during chapel, sometimes as an ongoing weeklong competition, and sometimes for an entire Friday chapel.

To build excitement and suspense, I created this teaser trailer tonight to show to the whole school at chapel.
