Who are the  Champions?
School Champions are the key to the success of fit for learning™. Each
participating school will select two Champions - one staff member and one
parent. These individuals will then be trained and provided with all the tools
they need to successfully develop a school culture that
promotes healthy nutrition and physical activity.
Why do we have school Champions as part of fit for learning?
School Champions will be the leaders implementing the fit for learning initiative at each participating school. School Champions will recruit key staff to
participate in an environmental survey that will examine the food service
program, physical education, and policies and practices surrounding healthful
living at the campus.
What is the role of the school Champions?
School Champions will:
- Provide leadership to the site as regards fit for learning efforts;
- Provide technical assistance to support improved nutrition and physical
activity;
- Become familiar with activities that effectively improve nutrition and physical
activity;
- Support the periodic evaluation and assessment of programs;
- Work closely with the Santa Clara County Office of Education to assure the
highest quality of program implementation and success.

ffl News and Events
The fit for learning (ffl) Program received a generous donation in the
amount of $25,000 from the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Foundation, presented
during the Santa Clara County Board of Education meeting on July 21, 2011. These monies
were raised via the King of the Mountain Cycling event, sponsored by the Silicon
Valley Leadership group on May 18, 2011.
The Silicon Valley Leadership Group works to promote a high quality of life for all
populations within Silicon Valley, by organizing senior managers and principal officers
of member companies with various local, state, and federal government leaders to impact
public policy and practice issues related to community health and wellness. The funds
will allow the ffl Program to continue to provide valuable health and nutrition education
and services to children across Santa Clara County. The check was presented by
Mr. Carl Guardino, President and CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, to
Santa Clara County Board President, Mr. Joseph DiSalvo.
