Rocky Bayou Christian School Crestview has been named a 2022 recipient of the Get Moving Grant. The $1,500 grant is for physical education equipment through the National Football League’s PLAY:60 initiative in conjunction with the American Heart Association.

• One school per team region is awarded the grant. 

Rocky’s regional NFL team is the Jacksonville Jaguars. That prompted RBCS Crestview PE teacher, Amanda Harrison, to work the team’s name into her application video.

Harrison, along with RBCS Crestview principal, Melissa Turner, thought the grant application was a great way to get their students moving with a little added fun.

• Harrison chose her 5th grade PE class to be the stars of her video and they showcased their “Jaguar Jacks.” 

“I love teaching PE and enjoy the laughs and smiles from each grade,” said Harrison. “We have fun with physical activity so this was a great opportunity to continue the fun and who doesn’t love doing some jumping jacks? We are thankful to have been chosen for this grant and I’m excited to purchase new equipment for our PE program.”

RBCS Crestview’s 5th graders will be showcased on the Super Bowl Brain Break digital broadcast and have the chance to win another $1,500 grant. The national winner is chosen out of all 32 NFL team regional grant winners.

“NFL Play:60 and the American Heart Association are promoting mental and physical health for young students,” wrote Rocky Bayou Christian School in a press release. “RBCS is proud to be a part of their initiative.”
