Students at School #1 in Little Falls cheered the introduction of members of The New York Giants.

Students at School No. 1 cheered to the rafters Tuesday as four members of the New York Giants dedicated a new fitness center at their school as part of the NFL-United Way Hometown Huddle, a day of service to raise health awareness.

Have fun. Play all the sports you can. Take advantage of the nice weather, and even when its winter, bundle up and go outside, Giants wide receiver Domenik Hixon advised students.

The teams collaboration with School 1 began last school year, when the grade 5-to-8 school took part in the NFL Play 60 Challenge, which encouraged students to exercise for an hour a day during April and to learn healthy habits.

Then, the school got a $30,000 grant through the National Football League for the fitness center, which staff and students said would be a lasting reminder and motivator for a healthy lifestyle.

Were so glad that they came and supported us and that they were really generous about it. It was just a surprise our little town got it, said student Andreana Karoullas, 12, a seventh grader at the 392-student school.
