Congratulations to Bobby Duke Middle School For winning the 2009 Governor's Fitness Challenge Competition!!
Bobby Duke Middle School is a grand prize winner of the 2009 Governor’s Fitness Challenge and will receive $100,000 in digital fitness equipment for their commitment to fitness and this year’s Challenge. This is their 3rd year participating and students doubled their fitness efforts and recorded over 100,000 active days. Bobby Duke Middle School’s Staff and Students have an innovative approach to physical education; they focus on activities students can continue throughout their adult lives from non-traditional sports such as aerobics and golf to a student-run intramural sports program and a running club which trains students to compete in 5K races. Bobby Duke also stresses the importance of diet along with exercise. Students conduct experiments to analyze the amount of fat in popular snack foods and learn about healthy alternatives. It’s more than a challenge it a commitment to fitness.
