AFS News & Events: 

End of Season FLY Fitness
Awards Banquet

The Abington Friends School FLY Fitness first ever winter season came to a close with an exciting new event for the FLY students! This season student awards were given out in 2 categories Fitness and Cooking. With a student lead discussion, the students nominated both male and female candidates in both the “Best Fitness” and “Best Student Chef” categories. It was quickly decided upon by the group that Morgan Pfost and Rachel Jakubawitcz were clearly the winners for the “Best Fitness” role model respectively for the male and female category.

The “Best Student Chef” was more of a lively discussion with several candidates in the running for both male and female awards. The outcome (after continued discussion in the manner of Friends) was to come to the consensus that Joe Krause would get the “Best Male Student Chef” and that there was a tie for the “Best Female Student Chef” between seniors- Katie Gross and Melissa Bagley.

On our last Fitness class day, the 5 award recipients got$25 gift cards as their award along with a certificate. The 3 Student chefs got gift cards from Whole Foods Market. The 2 Fitness role model students got $ 25 Visa gift cards to purchase athletic wear at their local sporting goods store.

In addition to the awards, all FLY students got their bright orange team shirts, a copy of the recipes from this semester, their own “participation certificate” and a 2  page photo montage compiled by FLY Fitness team coordinator and leader Laura Kahn. In closing, it is only getting better and better in the FLY Fitness program where the students truly are embracing their own personal Fitness as their own personal Lifestyle! Stay tuned as our Spring Schedule starts on March 31, 2008!
