BATAVIA — Warsaw Central School has won the 2020 Play to Get Fit Challenge.
The annual event is hosted by the Health and Physical Education department at Genesee Community College.
The Get Fit Challenge has been motivating third, fourth and fifth graders in Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming counties to get more active for nearly a decade.
The five-week event is designed to draw students’ attention to just how many minutes they spend engaged in physical activity outside of school.
Throughout the program, participating students record their active minutes — time spent walking, biking, running, skating, swimming, playing a sport, playing tag, playing on a swing set and other active, creative games.
Recorded minutes are then totaled and an average active minute count is calculated based on the number of students enrolled in third, fourth and fifth grades in each school.
Warsaw Central School was awarded the 2020 winning plaque and each student received a certificate recognizing their participation and effort.
The three most active participants — based on total minutes recorded — in the entire GLOW region this year were:
n Ruthie Kuipers of Byron-Bergen with 4,279 minutes.
n Adelia Green of Warsaw with 3,353 minutes
n Aiden Sonricker of Warsaw with 3,120 minutes
“The Play to Get Fit Challenge encourages kids to lead an active lifestyle in a way they can see and understand,” said Becky Dziekan, GCC’s director of Health and Physical Education, in a news release. “Each year, the participating school districts see proof that the program works.
“Even though the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic can be seen in the Challenge’s overall minute totals, these kids persevered and we are so proud of them,” she continued. “Congratulations to Warsaw and all of the students who worked hard to be active and enjoy the program.”
The Health and Physical Education program at Genesee Community College offers several areas of study related to health, fitness and coaching.
The spring semester starts Jan. 25.
