Retired Super Bowl Winner Pushes Tate Students Toward Healthy Ways

January 25, 2014

A former Super Bowl winner was at Tate High School Friday afternoon, celebrating a culture of wellness  as the school received a large cash donation.

Leigh Torrence, retired player for the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Super Bowl champ New Orleans Saints, spoke about his life and career, focusing on the importance of good nutrition, eating breakfast and exercising. Before participating in a question and answer session with students, Torrence led the gym full of Tate students in exercise activities.

During “Fuel Up To Play 60″ presentation, the Dairy Council of Florida presented the school with a $4,000 check. Tate was just one of 10 schools in Florida to receiving funding this year from the Dairy Council. The money will be used for a fitness trail and to provide healthier school breakfast choices.
