Students invited to join Ohio Lt. Governor’s fitness challenge

On behalf of Ohio Lt. Governor Jim Tressel, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is excited to invite Ohio schools and districts to join a new fitness challenge for students in grades 4-8. The challenge is designed to promote student wellness, boost energy levels, and build a stronger sense of community through friendly competition and individual goal setting.

As Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced during his State of the State Address, Lt. Governor Tressel will be launching a new statewide initiative to promote fitness in Ohio schools starting this coming school year. The goal of the initiative is to help students create healthy habits for life through three major pillars: fitness, nutrition, and sleep.
