If the residents of Northfield need some motivation to get in shape, this may be it. According to an article today in the Press of A.C. the healthiest families at Northfield Community School could score a cool US$5,000.
Parents of children at Northfield Community School (NCS) are receiving information on the 2008 Healthy Schools Initiative. The regional contest for schools sponsored by AtlantiCare offers a prize of $5,000 to the school it deems the healthiest.
NCS will give five families with children in the school the chance to work with personal trainers for 12 weeks, as well as learning to cook healthy meals from top chefs from Harrah’s and the Local 54 Chef Apprentice program.
The personal training for the families (provided by Mainland Fitness) is worth about $6,000 making the combined prize value close to $10,000 per family.
