In our brand new Middle School, we have put together a dynamic team of students that are creating a plan for lunch time and before school activities. They are getting the student body excited about FUTP 60 through competitions such as the mannequin challenge FUTP 60 style and share weekly announcements. They also plan out Minute to Win Activities for each assembly that also helps spread the word about nutrition and exercise. Victory Middle School is off to a great start with getting the nutrients they need and getting 60 minutes of exercise every day thanks to FUTP 60!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Our principal gave me the opportunity to lead a student team in an advisory just composed of FUTP 60 students. This has been great for planning and implementing all that we have done!

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Starting a new school created the need to generate buy in of the program. Now that it has been established, students and teachers are on board and understand all that FUTP 60 has to offer. It propels the school with success in nutrition, physical activity and academics!
