Fuel Up to Play 60 has created a lot of excitement for fitness at our school. In the last year our SWAT Team has created, designed, promoted and ran a number of activities for our students and families. Their excitement for fitness prompted us to apply for and received a Don't Quit! Fitness Center from The National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils. Our Fitness Center will be unveiled in October and our SWAT students are excited to be a part of the unveiling. We are so excited that we made FUTP60 a part of our school environment!

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

This play will allow our students, staff and community the opportunity to learn how to stay fit through the use of the Fitness Center. This center will be used by PE, Sports, Staff, After School Program and our community for many years to come. There are not too many middle schools that have a fitness center on their campus. We are very proud!
