Finalists were selected out of over 1,000 participating schools statewide based on the percentage and number of students in their school who successfully completed the Governor’s Challenge of being active 30-60 minutes a day, at least 3 days a week for a month.
Learning for Life Charter has twice won $1,000 Front Runner Recognition awards from the Governor’s Council for their participation in the Governor’s Challenge. The school is now under consideration for one of the competition’s three grand prizes, brand new fitness centers valued at $100,000. Additionally, Learning for Life Charter or one of the other two Central Coast school finalists announced today will be named a Regional Award winner and receive $5,000 for new physical activity equipment. Grand Prize and Regional Award winning schools will be announced at a special ceremony at the Capitol in September.
