Recess ROCKS! - $500 WINNING SCHOOL

[Corey Rossen]

A part of Recess ROCKS! was an incentive that Jordan's Family Foundation put on the Lakewood City Schools grades K - 8. We offered them a challenge - The school with the highest percentage of students in attendance at Recess ROCKS! would receive a $500 donation from Jordan's Family Foundation to be spent on Physical Education equipment or activity-based recess equipment for the winning school.

The concept of Recess ROCKS! was quite simple - find a way for children to learn about eating healthy, being active, and having fun. These simple steps will help children fight childhood obesity that can lead to heart disease. Fighting heart disease is JFF's primary objective including funding research and education of Congenital Heart Diseases.

The top three schools (by percentage) in attendance:
1. Grant - 35% - WINNER!
2. Harding - 25%
3. Hayes - 18%

Congratulations to Grant for all of their hard work and support of Recess ROCKS!

It is time to get those competitive fires going and plan for next year.

Thank you again to all who contributed to the event,
