Grove J. Tuttle Elementary School’s students recently celebrated their $3,150 Fuel Up to Play 60 grant by practicing their new classroom exercises during an all-school assembly. Tuttle School participates in the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, which is a student-led, in-school physical activity and nutrition program. Funding for this program is provided by the dairy farm families of Connecticut through a partnership between the Connecticut Milk Promotion Board and New England Dairy & Food Council.

Fuel Up to Play 60 is the nation’s largest in-school and student-driven wellness program, reaching nearly 74,000 schools. Nearly 3,600 of those are in New England. This nationwide program empowers students to drive change and work closely with educators to find creative ways to make their school a healthier place.
