Myers Elementary School Music
Teacher Leslie Burnett and physical education teachers Scott Fiske and Jason
Lauterbach took a team of six students by limo to the “Michigan Fuel Up to
Play 60” rally at Ford Field on February 16.
Fifth-graders
DaeSean Williams and Jasmyn Gore-Roberts, fourth- graders Joseph Anthony
and Tiarah Lollie and third-graders, Erik Schroeder and Ariel McAllister made
the trip.
While
they were there, they learned about the importance of dairy in their diet. They
listened to a dairy farmer speak of her daily routine with her cattle and her
love for milk. They listened to former kicker for the Detroit Lions, Jason
Hanson, tell of how his diet and exercise was an important part of his game.
We
ran through the tunnel and as our school was announced, we ran onto the field. They
were able to get on the field and learn some football conditioning moves and
plays with current Detroit Lion players Cory Wick and Laken Tomlinson.
The
day was filled with nutritious food, fun activities and excitement. They
listened to Ameer Abdullah, current player for the Detroit Lions, speak about
the importance of his nutrition during the season and on the offseason. He
came down on the field and danced with all of us.
The
students even met the Detroit Lions mascot Roary!
