RANCHO STUDENTS WIN GOVERNOR'S FITNESS AWARD
Rancho Las Positas is proud to announce that they are the winners of the Governor’s Fitness Challenge in the state of California. The challenge asks applicants to write three essays. In the last essay, applicants describe the need for the grand prize of $100,000 in fitness equipment. The Fitness Team at Rancho wrote in their essay that “the students, teachers and school community deserved the recognition for their hard work, but wanted the fitness equipment to go to a school that needed it more.” Students and staff have worked hard for this for over three years, incorporating healthy habits, Project Fit and the Running Club into their everyday lives. The Rancho Assembly Team built up the excitement the day before the announcement and taught the students the reasons why we give. Special thanks go to the Rancho PTA and Running Club coordinators, Bret Dupuis and Dave Hinds, who have spread the Running Club across the Livermore school district. MORE
