Our Fuel Up to Play 60 Kick-off for 2018-2019 involved a school assembly featuring New England Patriots Alumni Patrick Pass. Our Touchdown reward money helped provide funds for the visit. Patrick called upon Will S. for being a Florida Gators fan. At Whitin Intermediate School, a group of students come to school early for some exercise and FUTP 60 activities before school. Some of these include soccer, basketball, Double Dutch jump roping, and pogo stick jumping.
