Congratulations to Ruskin Elementary School and Piedmont Middle Schools for being finalists in the Governor's Physical Fitness Challenge. They are the top elementary and middle schools in the Bay Area. There was also one high school finalist, and one of those three schools will receive a $6000 award as the regional winner in May. At that time, the top school in the state at each level will receive the grand prize of $100,000 for a new fitness center.
I attended the awards assembly at Piedmont Middle School this morning. They received $1000 (an oversized check was presented) from CVS Pharmacy for their achievement, as did Ruskin. Great job by the teachers and students at both schools in being active and logging their physical activity. Being physically fit correlates well with student achievement, so we must encourage all our children to stay in shape and participate in fitness activities.
