5th and 6th graders at Monroe Intermediate School in Green River honored their local heroes Tuesday, December 13th with breakfast. About 75 law enforcement officers, firefighters, ambulance service and medical professionals, search and rescue volunteers, veterans, clergy, educators, school officials, and others were invited and recognized by students participating in a national program called Fuel Up to Play 60, a youth organization sponsored by the National Football League and the National Dairy Council. Fuel Up to Play 60 promotes good nutrition and fights obesity in the young by encouraging healthy eating habits and encouraging students to “get up and play” at least 60 minutes per day. The Monroe Intermediate Morning Choir performed during the event, and a group of students who competed in and won an essay-writing contest on the theme “What is a Hero?” read their prize-winning entries.
