Fourth grade student Ronan Freeborn had a special guest take him to school on Monday, April 22, Buffalo Bills superstar running back C.J. Spiller. Spiller visited W. T. Townshend Public School in Kitchener as part of the nationwide Take a Player to School contest, sponsored by NFL Canada, which Ronan won.
Ronan and the NFL superstar arrived at the school together, greeted by the cheers of WT Townshend students; all decked out in Bills colours red and blue.
After signing in at the office, Spiller visited Ronan’s classroom, and met his classmates and teacher.
Then it was time for a school assembly, where Spiller answered questions from students and led the school in fitness drills in the gym, including a jump-rope challenge, a football relay race and sit-ups and push-ups.
In addition to the school visit, the school also received a $5000 technology grant and ‘Play 60’ sports equipment. The NFL’s Play 60 initiative promotes 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
