Denver Broncos Wide Reciever Eric Decker Visits Greeley School

On Friday, students at Heath Middle School in Greeley had a pleasant surprise when the Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker walked in the room.

As you could imagine, the students were excited which in turn gave Decker an earsplitting welcome to the school.

Decker visited the school in part of a celebration for Heath Middle School becoming a "touchdown" school which is a program put on by the Western Dairy Association and the NFL's "Play 60" program.

The program began 5 years ago with a purpose of improving nutrition and exercise among children.

Heath was presented the award for their efforts in creating a school day that promotes a healthy lifestyle for kids throughout the school day. So far Heath Middle School is the only school in Colorado to be awarded the "touchdown" status

“This is a great organization, It hits close to home with me being an athlete and eating right.” Decker stated after the event. “This is about the kids, I love sharing the positive message for them to live their dreams. They have to know that if they do good things and work hard, positive things come from that.”
