Fuel Up to Play 60

Link

Fuel Up to Play 60 is the in-school nutrition and physical activity program founded by National Dairy Council® (NDC) and the National Football League, based on a mutual commitment to the health of the next generation. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has joined the effort as well as many businesses and industry leaders. This comprehensive program focuses on promoting healthier eating and more physical activity opportunities schoolwide. Students and adults work together to select and implement a series of “Plays” that result in long-term changes in these two important areas. Along the way, students become empowered to lead – by making healthy decisions, taking action for change and encouraging their friends to do the same.

Fuel up to Play 60 supports nationally recommended standards for health and physical education/physical activity–including National Health Education Standards, National Standards for Physical Education and the Guidelines for Physical Activity for Children 5-12. The program also helps schools meet their wellness goals and complements national initiatives–including the White House’s Let’s Move! Campaign, the U.S. National Physical Activity Plan, the USDA’s HealthierUS School Challenge and the CDC’s Coordinated School Health Program.

There are lots of ways to get rewarded and receive incentives throughout the school year, just by participating in Fuel Up to Play 60! From competitive Fuel Up to Play 60 Funds, where you can apply for funds up to $4,000 for your school, to Program Advisor rewards, for reporting your school’s progress online, you can receive digital badges that highlight your actions. Students also receive rewards and recognition for their efforts.

There are four funding application deadlines during the 2011-12 school year:

  • December 1, 2011
  • February 1, 2012
  • June 1, 2012 (If approved for funding, the money will be distributed after June 30, 2012, and will count toward the school’s funding for the 2012-13 school year.)
