The National Dairy Council® (NDC), the local Dairy Council and the National Football LeaguMNMS FUTP badge e (NFL) have formed a long-term partnership – in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture – to provide Fuel Up to Play 60 to schools. The program engages and inspires students to take the lead in their own health and wellness. The goals are to :
1. Encourage students to “fuel up” with nutrient-rich foods they don’t get enough of – low-fat and fat-free dairy products, fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
2. Motivate kids to be more active and play for at least 60 minutes a day.
3. Create an environment that encourages healthy and high-achieving students and schools.
Fuel Up to Play 60 is a fun, interactive program that allows YOU to make a commitment to healthy eating and 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Make a difference for yourself and make your school an even better place. It's really easy to get started with these few simple steps.
