Michael Jennings, Dana Curby, Nate Sefton, Michelle Dellamarie, Dawn Kelly  |  $10,000  |  “Taking Physical Education to New Heights!”

The goal in physical education is to promote active and healthy lifestyle choices by offering a variety of activities and experiences to give ALL students an opportunity for success.

This grant will fund a vertical rock climbing wall in the gym to support a new rock climbing unit in our PE classes.  The unit will include activities to develop physical, cognitive and social emotion skills, individual strength (mental and physical), team work, cooperation, and problem solving.

Grant collaborators are Rockwerx (custom designed modular panels), Unit 5 maintenance staff (installation), and the Upper Limits (contribute equipment, demonstrations, discounted rates for students and staff at their facility and will train and certify PE staff in climbing, belaying, and teaching belaying).
