PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) - Students at Jenks Junior High School in Pawtucket are taking part in "Fuel Up to Play 60." The program is sponsored by the New England Dairy & Food Council and the National Football League. It's a nation-wide initiative that allows kids to work together to identify creative ways to offer more nutritional foods in schools and at home. Those items would include low-fat and fat-free dairy products, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, not to mention spending 60 minutes per day doing their favorite physical activities. Students are allowed to register for the program on-line at school. There they may track their individual progress in daily healthy eating and physical activity habits, and compete against other schools' students to potentially win prizes.
