Campbell's Labels for Education(TM) Program Awards Fort Lauderdale School With 'A Day of Recess' and a Visit From the World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Campbell's Labels for Education
program awarded students at Hollywood Hills Elementary School with an
"all-day" recess featuring the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters, and one
million Labels for Education (LFE) bonus points to redeem for the tools and
resources the school needs most. It's all thanks to an entry from a
kindergartner's family member in Campbell's Recess Rules! sweepstakes, which
Campbell created in response to the trend in schools across the country to
eliminate recess from their curriculum(1).

"Campbell Soup Company and the Harlem Globetrotters believe physical
fitness is critical to children's health and development, which is why the
decreasing amount of physical activity in schools today is a major concern,"
said Anne Pizarro, program director, Campbell's Labels for Education. "We are
committed to promoting childhood wellness and support increased opportunities
for physical activity in schools."
To get kids excited about physical activity, the Harlem Globetrotters
joined the students for a variety of healthy and fun recess-related
activities.
"We are thrilled that our school received this great opportunity from
Campbell's Labels for Education to have the Harlem Globetrotters visit and
teach our students about the importance of physical activity," said Hollywood
Hills Elementary School Principal Vered Roberts. "We also are excited to
redeem our Labels for Education bonus points, which we're giving to each
teacher to order the resources they need, which means every child in our
school will benefit."
Mayor Peter Bober also was on hand to congratulate Hollywood Hills
Elementary School and recognize Campbell's Labels for Education for its
efforts related to physical activity.
