Thank you so much for funding my request for yoga mats for my
students.
I am increasingly interested in building student health consciousness to
help them lay the foundation for an emotionally and physically healthy
life, and I am so appreciative of your belief in my efforts to help
students start to realize this.
I just recently received my physical education credential and will be
taking the test to teach health. I hope to create a program that
combines these subjects to give students the foundation for a healthy
lifestyle. The yoga mats are a meaningful step towards this process. We
will use them and be reminded of your kindness and generosity. Thank you
again -- Linda Y. |
What a wonderful surprise to find out that my grant, "Obesity
Busters" has been funded.
This year has been a dream come true. My partner and I have worked so
hard this year trying various strategies to help our overweight and
obese students. We literally have 3rd graders who weigh more than 200
pounds.
We plan to use the equipment from this grant to help not only these
students but all of our students in grades 3-4-5. We will be able to
utilize them in station work.
My school is one of 270 nationwide participating in the Alliance for a
Healthier Generation. This group's focus is to fight the growing
epidemic in childhood obesity. We are one of the first 25 in the nation
to make the required improvements to earn the Bronze level of
recognition. I will be traveling to Little Rock Arkansas this summer to
receive this award. Last year former President Bill Clinton was a
featured speaker. Again, my deepest thanks for funding our grant. --
