Congratulations to the Wild Horse physical education department, the cafeteria staff and the Adventure Club staff for being awarded the Fuel Up to Play 60 Grant. They worked together to complete the grant application and submit it by the October 1st deadline.
Fuel Up to Play 60 uses the power of collaboration to help make everyone at the school healthier by fueling up with nutrient-rich foods and being active for 60 minutes or more a day. With Fuel Up to Play 60, adults and students work together to choose and implement school-improving changes that best meet the school's wellness goals. Along the way, students become empowered to make healthy decisions, take action for change and encourage their friends to do the same.
The funds from the grant will be used to purchase pedometers for physical education class, 3 Nintendo Wii game systems to help the students keep moving on cold and rainy afternoons. The cafeteria will use the funds for taste test days.
