If you are serious about FUTP 60, you might belong to Norman Rockwell’s FUTP 60 club! We started our after school club about 3 years ago and it continues to thrive. We host biweekly meetings throughout the school year. The meetings are led by a group of 4 officers that are elected by our entire student body and staff. We focus on leadership and peer mentoring to help our students on their journey to becoming amazing leaders!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Our club is 100% student led. With the guidance of the Program Advisers, the 4 officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) host and plan the meetings and activities. The students have opportunities to learn about healthy eating and exercise. They also incorporate some type of physical activity into each meeting.

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

We plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond simply by offering the club. Students excitement is contagious throughout the year. They are encouraged to bring guests to grow the club. One of the first questions we are asked by students the following year is "When does FUTP60 club start?!?"
