Westchester Academy is getting the word out on campus about the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. For our FUTP 60 Kickoff and NFL Play 60 Challenge, we involved the entire campus by hosting a Crazy for Fitness event to get students excited about being active. Students had fun walking and running while teachers threw color powder paint on them. As a result of this event, students participated in the Play 60 Challenge and signed up with the FUTP 60 program. We have started our school year off with a bang and are planning more exciting events to engage students with a variety of physical activities

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

Student Ambassadors are planning several activities during lunch time to involve more students to be active daily.
