Press release from City of Fort Worth: December 01, 2021 Three Fort Worth ISD schools are each receiving a $10,000 grant for campus wellness activities thanks to the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth. UNTHSC, in partnership with FitWorth, selected TCC South/FWISD Collegiate, Hubbard Heights Elementary School and Como Montessori because of their demonstrated success with wellness programs this school year through an initiative called HSC Presents FitWorth. HSC Presents FitWorth and the FWISD Health & Physical Education Department teamed up earlier this spring for a wellness initiative. Each winning campus had the highest percentage of student participation in the wellness initiative that included educational videos and lessons, physical activities and pre- and post-learning assessments that covered a variety of wellness topics. "We are so honored to be a part of FitWorth, in partnership with UNTHSC, and proud of our Fort Worth ISD schools that participated in this local wellness program," said FWISD Health and Physical Education Director Roina I. Baquera. "We applaud the commitment of these schools to support healthier learners, healthier educators and healthier school communities."   Photo: Checks for $10,000 were presented to three school campuses so students can continue their wellness activities.   Get articles like this in your inbox.
