For Week 1, students and faculty hosted opening ceremonies outdoors and completed daily outdoor physical activity challenges to earn points. They were also allowed to enter for a bonus point by submitting a HUMAN FORMATION VIDEO as their Moment of the week, with the Winter Games panel of judges ultimately selecting one winner for the week.

1st place: Williams-cone Elementary School

The school earning first place is Williams-Cone School in Topsham with this human formation video.

HONORABLE MENTION: Rangeley Lakes Regional School
