On October 4, 2017 Turner Elementary students participated in a Fuel Up to Play 60 Kick-Off. This event was led by Coach Jessica Thomas and Coach Kianna Trent. The students learned they must Fuel Up their bodies with healthy food and play 60 minutes a day. The Fuel Up to Play  60 school’s Ambassadors were introduced to the other students. The Turner Elementary faculty and students are excited to complete all of the challenges throughout the year.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Some of the improvements that I have seen in my school is in students, athletes and staff choosing healthy foods. The students were able to understand why granola bars and water were provided for them instead of candy and soda.
