For weeks selected star students of P.S. 161 have been working it out for fitness. They have taken up the charge lead by First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign. The Let’s Move campaign combats the epidemic of childhood obesity through a comprehensive approach that builds on effective strategies, and mobilizes public and private sector resources. Let’s Move engages every sector impacting the health of children to achieve the national goal, and will provide schools, families and communities simple tools to help kids be more active, eat better, and get healthy.

Today, those star students thought they were just filming the moves from Beyonce’s Let’s Move video, based off of her hit “Get Me Bodied” song. They completed a Zumba warm-up and the Let’s Move choreography several times before New York City Chancellor of Education Dennis Walcott stopped by to offer words of encouragement. And while the children were happy to see Chancellor Walcott they were growing tired and maybe suspicious of all the new faces and camera crews evading their gym. However Ling convinced them to give it one more go and no matter what…never stop dancing!

The kids organized themselves and prepared for one more show. The dancing began, the hard breathing increased, and then superstar Beyonce Knowles burst through the back gym doors to give a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Beyonce danced along side the children and then posed for pictures.

NBA: Tom Thibodeau 2011 NBA Coach of the Year (May 1st-May 8th) #SalemState)

Thibodeau played basketball at Salem State University, and became an assistant coach at the school in 1981. In 1984, he became head coach at Salem State after serving three years as an assistant. One season later he became an assistant coach at Harvard University, where he spent the next four seasons. 20 years ago when Tom Thibodeau became an assistant coach at Salem State he might have not even been thinking about becoming a head coach in the NBA or maybe that was his goal all along. Either way I'm sure that as he began the journey to coach in basketball there were many people along the way who told him he couldn't coach at Division 1, never mind the NBA. After years of hard work and perseverance, those who doubted him along the way must have their foot in their mouths. Thibodeau made his own lane, I'm sure no one ever thought some assistant coach at D3 Salem State would become 2011 NBA Coach of the Year almost 20 years later, except for Thibodeau himself. Congrats to Thibodeau! This story is motivational and supports the theory that if you have a dream you have to believe you can accomplish it when no one else will. I hope you continue to follow my journey and I can follow yours! #MYOL (@makeyourownlane)
