Each team will be given $1,000,000.00 DCIU “dollars”
to spend on wellness activities during the 2012-2013
school year. The faster you spend down your wellness account, the more likely you are to win the
monthly wellness rewards for your team.
Health is like money, we never have a true idea of
its value until we lose it. ~Josh Billings
