Item Polar heart rate monitors CR240 replacement batteries Timex T5E011 pedometers

Cost $42.50 $7.95 $7.50

Quantity 30 40 50 Grand Total:

Total Price $1,275.00 $318.00 $375.00 $1,968.00

22. What changes do you hope to see at your school this year as a result of implementing your Physical Activity Play? Having these devices would provide children the opportunity to see first-hand how physical activity impacts their health. Heart rate monitors will not only teach them about the human heart and how it functions, but would also help illustrate how different levels of activity effect the body and our health, over time. These devices would also benefit other classes; math and science classes could utilize the pedometer and HR monitor data to calculate equations and to determine optimal heart rate zones. 23. How will the changes outlined above continue beyond this school year, after this funding is exhausted? The items purchased have a long life, and, if cleaned and cared for correctly, could be a part of the physical education department for many years to come. As mentioned above, the data collected from these devices can be utilized by teachers of other subjects as well, to create lessons related to caloric expenditure, heart rate zones, anatomy and biomechanics.

Please tell us if there are any other key adults, besides yourself, who will be involved in the planning and implementation of Fuel Up to Play 60 in your school. Name: Emma Jackson Job Title: Health & Wellness Committee Chair, PTA How will this individual be involved? Working in conjunction with PE teacher 34. Optional: Please share anything else Fuel Up to Play 60 should consider in reviewing your application. Currently, the school offers very few healthy food options for lunches and snacks. The food options in the predominantly Latin-American community arent available in small portions and dont always provide many vegetables. Teaching the students to eat what they love in smaller portions, and by adding more fresh produce and fewer sugars and empty calories would be beneficial. Monthly Student of the Month Ceremonies at the school offer breakfast to parents and students. The breakfast consists of tray after tray of sugary fried pastries. The only drink provided is apple juice. This unhealthy spread is sometimes the only breakfast option for the child. Although the pastries are tasty, this is unacceptable, and directly contributes to the growing childhood obesity problem both at the school and within the state. Using the funding, we could provide healthier ceremony food choices, by adding fresh produce and proteins and removing the empty calorie sugar-laden options from the table.
