Healthy Lobo Challenge by ASB
ASB will be hosting a “Healthy Lobo Challenge!” What is the Healthy Lobo Challenge? It's an event where you show off your healthy living! You may ask why?

The 5th-9th will highlight healthy eating! The 12th-16th will highlight exercising! The 19th-23rd will highlight self- care! Finally, the 26th-30th will highlight all three! Encourage your child to show off their healthy living. They can can DM ASB a photo and hashtag #healthylobochallenge. They can also message ASB on the ASB Google Classroom.
