CFISD students 'Fuel Up to Play 60' at Texans game

CFISD students gather before and during the Houston Texans game on Sept. 29 as part of a Fuel Up to Play 60 / Dairy Max promotion.

Forty students and their PE teachers from Kahla Middle School and Lee, Lieder and Postma elementary schools attended the Houston Texans game on Sept. 29 as part of a Fuel Up to Play 60/Dairy Max promotion. 

Fuel Up to Play 60, the leading in-school health and wellness program empowers students and educators to work together to build healthier schools and create healthy, high achieving students. The program offers a variety of opportunities for adults, students and schools: from in-school wellness initiatives to funding opportunities, there is something for everyone! Fuel Up to Play 60 inspires students and educators to make a meaningful, long-term impact in their school environments while enabling students to become leaders by providing them with resources to make significant changes and opportunities to build confidence and lifelong skills through teamwork. 

PE teachers, from left Tammy Bain (Lee), Alexis Harvey (Kahla), Elishah Pendleton (Lieder) and Danyelle Minchow (Postma) stand on the sideline at the Houston Texans game on Sept. 29. 

The program is introduced to all elementary and secondary PE and health teachers in the entire district during Staff Development Week each school year. The teachers then create a profile, prior to the beginning of school and log their fitness and nutrition activities throughout the year. There are incentives along the way for campuses who are more active than others. Kahla, Lee, Lieder and Postma were chosen at random from a group of six schools that had met the first deadline. The students were treated to a tailgate party, photo opportunities with cheerleaders and former players. They also got to go down into the tunnel during half time. The next round of incentives includes signed footballs by current Texans players for students, these schools will be chosen at the end of this month.

Secondary Health & PE Coordinator Sydne Marshall, Elementary Music & PE Coordinator –Loretta Bourn and Off-Campus PE Curriculum Coach Julia Elder all attended the game with the campuses as district-level administrators.

"We had an amazing time," Marshall said. "Some of our students may never get the opportunity to attend a pro football game with the red carpet treatment. They were treated like superstars, and they enjoyed every minute of it. I can’t think of a more deserving bunch than our physical education teachers and students. Our health is our wealth!"
