VERMONT BUCKS IN P.E.

Vermont BUCKS football players stopped into PE today to motivate 7th grade students as they finished up their fitness gram testing! They lead students through a dynamic warm up prior to exercise. They talked to us about the value of hard work, pushing your self to the best you can be, and the importance of health and fitness.  These 7th grade students really showed perseverance through out class as they complete the test and one student was able to set the school year record for the PACER test in front of the local celebs!!!
