  • Yoga for Healthy Minds!

    Funded Apr 27, 2021

    We cannot thank you enough for your generous donation last school year so the PE department could purchase yoga mats. Our students were so excited to see the new equipment and were impressed to learn that it was purchased through your donation!

    The yoga mats are so versatile and will allow the students to utilize them for a variety of exercises. Just today we pulled them out for the kids to use during their heart rate day! Some of the students did curl-ups, push-ups, and planks on the mats to elevate their heart rate into a health enhancing zone.

    Many of our students are looking forward to a yoga day soon and these mats will be necessary to provide our students with a positive experience. Yoga allows our students to explore a different heart rate level on their heart rate days, which is an important talking point as we discuss the importance exercising at different target heart rate zones. We are so grateful for your donation, thanks again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Janik

  • Let's Get Pumping!

    Funded Mar 7, 2017

    Thank you so very much for helping us to purchase some much needed equipment! The new heart rate straps will enable our students to utilize the heart rate monitors more often. Technology is a very new luxury to our department and we welcome it with open arms! The students are amazing with technology and seem to really take ownership of their health when they use this piece of technology. The new technology will allow us to track the healthy progress our students make in class each day.

    Our students seem to be much more engaged in the activities we do when they are using the heart rate monitors. It is truly amazing to see how much effort the kids put in and how interested they are in their heart rate while exercising. The kids really enjoy watching their heart rate move throughout the healthy zone and work very hard to keep it in the zone.

    We know this technology will move our department in the right direction to help our students see the importance of exercising within their healthy fitness zones. The technology solidifies the benefits of daily PE and provides us teachers with valid data to support the benefits of daily PE. We are so happy to have this equipment and again want to thank you for your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Janik

    This classroom project was brought to life by ESPN and 3 other donors.
Adding heart rate monitor straps will allow our students to use the heart rate monitors more often. We will be able to maximize the number of times the monitors get used each day, thus allowing more students to focus on how exercise increases their heart rate. This technology tool will allow the students to monitor their heart rate during activity and recognize when they are exercising within their target heart rate zones for health enhancing levels. Our heart rate monitor straps must be washed between uses, which is why we need more straps to maximize student use. We want our students to make the connection between increased heart rate and increased health benefits. Using this tool will also enable our students to take learning into their own hands and to become more accountable for their fitness levels.
