In the midst of prepping for another playoff appearance, the Atlanta Falcons, along with the National Football League and Play 60, honored a local school for its efforts in tackling childhood obesity. North Hall Middle School was named the 2012 NFL Play 60 Super School for Falcons’ country, earning a visit from star linebacker Sean Weatherspoon and a $10,000 grant on Tuesday. The Play 60 program, an initiative started by the NFL in 2007, is a community-based health and wellness awareness program to encourage children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.
