Success Stories
Posted On 2008-01-24
At first I thought, why do this? Then after the first three days I was happy at my progress. I ate healthier and worked harder. At school there is a wall in the obstical course during P.E. the small part of the wall is what I am used to going over, the big wall was out of my reach. Testing for the big wall came up and I was nervous. The big wall was an A grade the small wall was an B grade and a C grade was for trying. I did the small wall confidently and decided to try the big wall for a better grade. I ended up doing it and got an A! I was really proud of myself. I could not have done it without your "push"! THANK YOU! - Kaylee Lowrey

Well, i heard that the governers challenge is willing to give a couple of lucky schools some money and a new fitness center, so i decided to help my school because they need it and that would really help my school. Thank you for giving me that oppurtinutty!

Well it was interesting to first try out this Governor's Challenge and i thought there was more to it but it was actually very simple. I was very happy to see that i actually did excercise and work out. I used to think that i wasn't doing anything healthy and i was just not trying but now that im able to track my progress, i feel much better and confident about my weight. I really am thankful for this program so thank you very much! JESSICA L. Lennox Academy

I love to do sports and i know many of my friends do to, but some of them are to lazy to get up and play! Joining this challenge has made me and my friends not only be phsicaly activite but it has brought us closer as friends and made us realize how much fun it is to try new sports and to just be active. I learned how to play football and by playing outside i was able to get better on my soccer kicks and i also increased in my endurince and got much faster. This challenge has opened So many doors for my athletic passion.
