Wings Park and other local schools receive ˜Fuel Up to Play 60 grants

Wings Park Elementary in Oelwein recently received word that their Fuel Up to Play 60 program has received a $4,000 grant from the national organization.

Fuel Up promotes youth fitness through exercise and good eating habits and encourages the availability and consumption of nutrient-rich foods, along with at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity.

The grant will be used to purchase exercise equipment for classrooms, purchasing incentive items for a Fun Night, and to enhance signage in the lunchroom/kitchen area to better promote healthy eating.
