IDEAS Wins Three Crystal Reel Awards for Adventure to Fitness

IDEAS has been awarded three Crystal Reel Awards for their work on Adventure to Fitness, the groundbreaking 30-minute series for kids that brings health and physical activity together with geography, science, social studies, and language arts. In an awards ceremony hosted by the Florida Motion Picture & Television Association, Inc. (FMPTA) Metro Orlando Chapter, IDEAS received awards in the categories of Best Sound in a TV Series, Best Graphic Design in a TV Series, and Best Overall TV Series.

“We are extremely proud of the entire Adventure to Fitness team and honored to have been recognized in multiple categories” commented John Lux, COO of IDEAS. “This is a tribute to everyone’s hard work on the project and says a lot about the quality of work the whole team puts out for such a worthy cause.” Adventure to Fitness is available to elementary schools nationwide giving students the opportunity to build active and healthy habits for life.
