Bluff City Middle School Participates in New Wellness Program; Fuel Up to Play 60Bluff City, Tenn. – On November 9 the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association (SUDIA) and Bluff City Middle School (BCMS) launched a new wellness program, Fuel Up to Play 60 (FUTP60), aimed to combat childhood obesity. This youth-led program empowers children and teens to live activity and healthy lifestyles by exercising for 60 minutes each day and eating nutrient-rich foods including low-fat and fat-free dairy. To further encourage program participation, BCMS provided students with pedometers to help them track their walking. To celebrate the launch of the new program, BCMS students competed in relay races and attended a FUTP60 kick-off pep rally. “The FUTP60 program is a great way to inspire students to maintain personal wellness by exercising and eating healthy foods such as dairy,” said Jill Henderson, SUDIA’s program account manager of Tennessee.
