Bill > SR85

This resolution commends the St. Tammany Parish School System for winning first place in the 30th Annual Elementary State Championship Fitness Meet, a six-month statewide sporting event involving recreation departments across Louisiana. The St. Tammany team narrowly defeated Livingston Parish and Lafayette Parish, earning 2,442 points in a competition that includes seven fitness-related events such as the 50-yard dash, shuttle run, pull-ups, standing long-jump, curl-ups, 600-yard run, and V-sit and reach. The top performers, including Lillian Young (who scored 653 individual points) and teammates Benjamin Bearden, Joseph Lacour, and Reese Maras, were instrumental in the parish's victory. The Louisiana Governor's Games, which has been running since 1995, is described as the "Olympic Games" for elementary school children, with over 200,000 participants from thirty parishes competing annually for the state fitness crown. The resolution officially congratulates the competitors, coaches, and parents of the St. Tammany Parish School System and requests that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the St. Tammany Parish School Board.
