Fuel Up to Play 60
A wellness project sponsored by the Dairy Council and the NFL is led by our 6th, 7th and 8th grade GT students and focuses on good nutrition and exercise for our entire Benold student population.  On the below websites, students track their progress and earn points to compete nationally as well as with our other Georgetown middle schools.

Here at Benold Middle School a focus has always been placed on academics and attendance.  This year students and staff are also making an effort to emphasize, support and focus on healthy eating habits and good physical well being so that students will learn that there must be a balance in all of these areas in order to create a well rounded balance in themselves.
           Benold has chosen to participate in the PTA sponsored GT Get Fit program and have also partnered to participate in the Fuel Up to Play 60 program sponsored by the dairy community and the NFL.  Students are logging on to record their nutritional habits and physical activities so they can compete with our other two middle schools as well as students across the nation to win prizes.
           Our student body is lead by a group of students, The Extreme Team, from all three grade levels.  Ryan Ludwig, outfielder for the Cardinals, helped Benold kick off our events which will include a focus on starting our day with a nutritional breakfast.  Our students will evaluate their breakfast meals and participate in good meal supplements such as smoothie tasting (emphasizing the use of yogurt) and protein bars.
          Our students will also be able to gain points through their participation in our walking club each day during lunch/recess and learn the importance of monitoring and evaluating their balance of healthy eating and good physical exercise to maintain and fuel their bodies to perform well on their academic tasks in order to focus on their successful future.
