POTTSTOWN PA – The “Fuel Up To Play 60″ health and fitness effort at Pottsgrove Middle School keeps paying dividends.
A group of 10 middle school students and their adult chaperone will soon have a chance to get a behind-the-scenes tour of Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and have lunch in the Philadelphia Eagles’ football players cafeteria, Principal Dr. William Ziegler reported Thursday (Nov. 10, 2011). That’s because the school has been chosen as the first-prize winner in a Fuel Up contest sponsored by the National Football League (NFL) and the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association.
Now in its third year at the school, North Hanover Street, Pottstown PA, “Fuel Up To Play 60″ intends to keep students healthy, fit, and exercising at least 60 minutes every day. Pottsgrove’s past successes in the program last year helped physical education teacher Marilyn Eaton become a finalist in the NFL “Physical Education Teacher of the Year” competition, as well as an expenses-paid trip to last year’s NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
The middle school, recognized as having one of the best such programs in Pennsylvania, also won a day-long visit to the school during February by Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek.
