Athena-Weston School District has been awarded a grant of a $100,000 fitness center to be placed at Weston Middle School.

When installed this fall, the center will include strength training and cardio fitness equipment, plus a circuit training system.

Superintendent Laure Quaresma said the rural district of 570 students is one of nine in the nation, three of those in Oregon, to be selected by the National Foundation for Governors Fitness Councils multimillion dollar Dont Quit! campaign.

On Thursday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced the awards, including those to the Neil Armstrong Middle School in Forest Grove and Oaklea Middle School in Junction City.

Founded by Body by Jake entrepreneur Jake Steinfeld, the California-based fitness foundation promotes healthful eating and exercise to fight childhood obesity.

In 2016, three Washington state schools received such fitness centers.

Quaresma said district students were responsible for doing the grant paperwork to enter the competition for the fitness facility. All public and private elementary and middle schools in Oregon were eligible to apply for the Dont Quit! campaign.

Each fitness center is financed through public and private partnerships with companies such as Oregon-based Nike, the Coca-Cola Company and TuffStuff Equipment.

The fitness center campaign does not use taxpayer dollars or state funding, the foundation notes.

Oregon joined Colorado, Louisiana and Maryland in participating in the campaign. Since 2012, the foundation has delivered fitness centers in 18 states and Washington, D.C., with a goal to reach all 50 states.

Quaresma said the center will be open to all Athena-Weston students.
