Crestwood is the elementary that the Badger Athletes are going to visit. Kindergarten through 5th grade will have lunch recess with the athletes. Both parents and the children will be educated about the new Get Kids in Action program started at UNC. I had hoped to get Randall elementary as the test case but the schedule was too stringent to warrant a Badger visit.
Although it is only one school for now, the vision is to promote the program city wide in the future. I think it is important to do this before summer to help counter the lure of television over summer break. In addition, testing the program out in one location will give us feedback on how to proceed in the future.
you're a tool

Let me get this straight, I'm getting Badger athletes to get out to schools to promote fitness and that makes me a "tool". I can't believe I haven't deleted this already. I would like to reiterate that this is to promote thoughtful, open lines of communication, not mindless bashing.
P.S. I like the tool hater signing, you must be very proud of your statement if you don't leave an actual e-mail reply address.
