ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Martin O’Malley will team up with NFL Network, Verizon FiOS TV, and players from the Baltimore Ravens to launch the 2009 Keep Gym in School Program at Corkran Middle School in Glen Burnie.

After a school-wide pep rally led by NFL Network Analyst Jamie Dukes celebrating the refurbished Physical Education facilities funded by a $50,000 Keep Gym in School grant, Baltimore Ravens Brendon Ayanbadejo and Matt Birk will lead students through fitness tests and football-inspired drills during an on-field minicamp. Corkran Middle School is one of four middle schools nationwide receiving a Keep Gym in School PE revamp this year, and one of approximately 150 schools that will benefit from the NFL Network’s Keep Gym in School Fitness Program.
