It's been an incredible year for Fuel Up to Play 60!

• More than 60,000 schools have now joined Fuel Up to Play 60 to increase student access to healthy foods and more physical activity!
• A competitive national funding program is now available to help Fuel Up to Play 60 schools activate their in-school programs.
• Program Advisors can now earn rewards for themselves and their schools.
• New online Dashboards act as a window into each school’s Fuel Up to Play 60 program, showing participation, progress, rewards and more (coming September 1, 2010).

Program components developed for the school’s Fuel Up to Play 60 team - such as nutrition and physical activity “Plays” and Youth Challenges, in-school promotional materials, a Web site and youth social media partnerships - are customizable and nonprescriptive.

The program's design allows youth and schools to determine which tools and resources best help their school meet local youth wellness goals and school wellness policies. Partner-supported school funding is available to help schools make long-term healthy changes.

After identifying their school's nutrition and physical activity needs, the students use the Fuel Up to Play 60 program tools and resources to create activities before, during or after school, such as a school-wide walking club to get students moving or a grab 'n' go breakfast cart to encourage students to eat a nutritious breakfast. The Fuel Up to Play 60 program offers activity ideas for both healthy eating and physical activity, but ultimately the students can design their own.
