New to Fit’s Cool this year:
This year, you don’t need to belong directly to a school to do your part. We’re throwing the doors wide open this year. This year, we welcome friends, family members, businesses, as well as students, faculty, and school staff members to all get involved!
Also New to Fit’s Cool this year: Percentage Winners!!!
Based on official student enrollment, the elementary and middle schools with the highest percentage of paying participants naming their schools on the entry forms will each win $1,000 for their PTAs. So go out and encourage your friends, family, and local businesses to scribble the name of your school on their Reedy entries! For instance, a school could conceivably boast a 125% participation rate! But if your school drums up 126% participation, then your PTA might win the $1,000!
