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

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.
