Five Hawkeye football players came to Lemme for a school-wide assembly and a Fuel Up to Play 60 Kickoff. 29 FUTP 60 students each asked a question to the players. There were over 100 questions submitted! Questions included: leadership, community involvement, favorite fitness activity, and favorite healthy foods. The assembly was such a hit, students didn't want to leave. The players received over 300 thank-you's.
