3 schools excel in fitness challenge

Three Henrico elementary schools were among 25 schools statewide to win a special dance party hosted by Radio Disney AM 1290, thanks to high participation rates in the "Get Active Get Fit!" School Challenge.  

Henrico schools making the state's top 25 include Lakeside E.S., Pemberton E. S., and Twin Hickory E.S. 

Sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, the Challenge is designed to motivate kids and families to achieve fitness together by engaging in fun activities. The program was implemented in more than 346 elementary schools in 69 divisions throughout the fall of 2010, furthering a commitment to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle among 159,000 of Virginia’s school-age children.
