Honorees from Memorial Middle School:
Paige Capel who finished second in her class with 4,570 minutes of activity was a true example for her classmates during the 6 week challenge. Paige was recovering from ankle surgery and in addition was sidelined with an Achilles injury. But none of that could stop Paige as she was determined to stay active and help her class achieve the goals they had set for themselves at the beginning of the challenge. Paige is an aspiring dancer whose determination and positive attitude was a continual motivator for her and her classmates as the challenge came to its close. Paige has embodied our First and Ten movement through motivating her classmates through all sorts of adversity! We are very proud of all you have done to inspire your class and your community as a whole. Way to go Paige! #give10
Honorees from Riverside:
Tyler Weber recorded the most minutes for his school during the 6 week Fall Challenge, which is quite a feat considering 197 students, participated from Riverside. During the challenge, Tyler sustained an injury playing football and was sidelined for a couple days. During this time Tyler helped the teacher and his classmates in whatever way he could; whether that was timing students as they completed their timed mile run, or just cheering them on as they finished. Tyler's competitive spirit is contagious and it was most evident during the Browns Play 60 challenge. Through the challenge Tyler has learned the importance of supporting and relying on others to be successful from both perspectives. While Tyler continues to Play 60 on a daily basis, he has now been inspired to make his community a better place by pledging to #give10 this year! Keep up the great work Tyler, you are a great ambassador for the First and Ten movement! #give10

On top of that Jamison has a love for the game of football and the Browns in particular.

Jamison is inspiring his classmates to find a creative way to get active through martial arts; they are making themselves better and helping each other make a positive change in their community. #give10
