Interlochen Teacher’s Aide Wins

Let’s Get Moving Grand Prize

 

A rainy washout at last week’s Friday Night Live did not stop Interlochen’s Nan Lewis from claiming her Nintendo Wii and a Wii Fit program from Let’s Get Moving Northern Michigan-Grand Traverse Area representatives.

 

 Lewis, a teacher’s aide at Interlochen Community Schools, was the grand-prize drawing winner of the popular video game system donated by Priority Health. Lewis, who logged 267 miles over the 100 days, has organized walks and other physical activity events at her school. She was excited to claim her prize. “It feels awesome to win,” she said. “My kids have a Wii, but they are all grown up and moved away.”
