Five of the winners were chosen from a random drawing of schools that met minimum requirements as part of the N-Lighten Kids three-month program. The other five were drawn from among schools that verified school-wide participation in N-Lighten Kids Day events, the week of April 23.
A total of 25,144 kids participated in the program with 14,959 kids on 683 teams completing the three-month program and 10,185 kids from 113 Nebraska schools participating in N-Lighten Kids Day. Those participating in the three-month program amassed 1,447,458 physical activity points, with one point equal to 15 minutes of physical activity.
