Celebrating Wellness Across Lansing USD 469: January Challenge Winners Announced

Our Health & Wellness Committee kicked off 2026 with energy and enthusiasm through the January Health & Wellness Challenge, and what a great start it has been!

Thank you to all staff members who participated. It was wonderful to hear the positive feedback and see the smiles when winners were announced. The challenge is designed to encourage healthy habits, build connection across buildings, and add a little fun to the winter months, and January did just that.

When we prioritize wellness, we strengthen not only ourselves, but also the positive culture that benefits our students and community.

Congratulations again to our January winners, and thank you to everyone who is participating!
