Students’ Video Wins Grant, Exercise Equipment for Fayette Co. School

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Jordan Duncan and Jordan Lewis, both juniors at Carter G. Woodson Academy, locked down a $1,000 grant through the inaugural “Laura’s in Motion” video contest, which promotes childhood health through fitness and education.

The students, guided by teacher Melanie Trowel, created a video describing why fitness is important and why they needed the money to buy sports equipment for their school.

The check, which was presented by representatives of Lexington-based Laura’s Lean Beef, will go toward exercise equipment and an InBody machine, which analyzes body composition.
