For the second-straight year, Danny Halva was named the meet MVP after he won both the 1600 and 3200. The junior has a chance to be a three-time winner next year.

    Advocating for a healthier school environment is part of the overall goal for Valley, North Fayette, and North Fayette Valley staff and students involved in a wellness program that engages both districts. Recently, 97 staff members from both districts participated in a competition that encouraged weight loss and physical activity.

    Stephanie Wagner, school nurse at NFV, explained that the competition began in late January and was designed as a team event.

   “Teams of no less than two and no more than five people reported weekly activity minutes and held weigh-ins every other week. The competition was based on total minutes accumulated and the percentage of weight lost,” said the wellness proponent.
