Physical Education Program (PEP) Grant

Carol White Federal Grant US Dept. of Education

 

“We are excited to implement the PEP Grant this year with our students, staff and community” stated Superintendent/Principal Linda Irving. “We were one of over 700 applicants with only 77 selected from throughout the country.”  The goals of the grant are to improve physical fitness through activity and nutrition, promoting lifelong wellness.

On Tuesday, February 8th students at San Antonio School held their kickoff event for their newly awarded Carol White Physical Education Program Grant.  Mike Dove and Susan Love from the Big Sur Marathon presented the Just Run Program.  Students were excited to get started running to earn rewards and watch their group progress across the United States.

 

JUST RUN assists schools and youth organizations by offering a SOLUTION, an ongoing, vital youth fitness program to create lifestyle changes. This highly acclaimed program was honored and given a Gold Medal by Governor Schwarzenegger's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports for "positively impacting the health and well-being of California's children and youth."  Individually the children experience the benefits of physical activity and stretching, progress at their own speed in a safe, non-competitive environment, experience pride in personal accomplishment and goal setting. Most important, they learn life-long positive habits while having FUN!
