L.I.S. Students Honored at JETS game 12/1/14

The American Heart Association and the NFL's Play 60 program recognize students across the country who demonstrate Healthy living, wellness, and who are examples to others through being active and physically fit.  2 of our L.I.S. students were recognized through this program this past Monday night at the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins game in East Rutherford N.J.  6th grade student Rebekah Kargbo and 5th grade Jack Yamniuk (both Presidential Physical Fitness Award winners) and their parents were given free tickets to the game and walked out onto the playing field to be honored.  A video of them on the field was shown during the game on the Jets Jumbo Tron screens.  They also received an NFL play 60 t-shirt and Jets apparel.  We are very proud of Rebekah and Jack and their leadership in living an active stay fit lifestyle.
