Students participating in the PBIS initiative will also be eligible to win prizes such as autographed footballs and hats by Atlanta Falcons players.

PBIS is an evidence-based, data-driven framework proven to reduce disciplinary incidents, increase a school’s sense of safety and support improved academic outcomes. More than 1,400 Georgia schools and 27,000 nationwide have been trained in PBIS.

Fuel Up to Play-60 empowers students and educators to work together to build healthier schools and create healthy, high achieving students.

PBIS and FUTP-60 aligned their core concepts to ensure that students are provided with the tools to create changes that lead to significant improvement in their social, emotional, physical and academic health.
