Thinking of their FutureThinking of their Future Students more likely to keep fit for the rest of their

lives using the kinds of equipment we find in a health club

Students are more likely to work to stay fit if they feel at home in a health club setting

Students will be more likely to keep moving if they can see the results of their efforts

Students with injuries and/or disabilities are better able to be active with proper equipment

Students are more likely to see working out as a pleasure and a part of their every-day routine if they can use equipment that they find motivating

Some of our PEP Grant Project Objectives


•Increase the amount of time students spend involved in physical fitness activity (with the goal of 225+ minutes per week in mind)

•Create a first-class equipment-filled work-out space (the fitness room) for students to use during PE/HF class time, as well as before and after school

•Better enable teachers to educate their students on the principles of training (FITT principals)

•Provide ample developmentally appropriate pieces of fitness equipment for students to engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity and practice the FITT principles

04/15/23 04:43 PM



•Provide technology tools for teachers and students to use to collect, keep, analyze and report valid fitness data

•Enable students to view and analyze their fitness data to assess individual fitness levels

•Students will set goals based on fitness profiles and develop and monitor individual improvement plans.

•Update teachers on the latest research and current best-practices in physical fitness education

•Improve instruction of physical fitness practices in PE/HF classes and enable NBJH to meet ALL Illinois State Standards for PE and Health

Judges comment: “…did not build a solid case for the magnitude of our problem.”

Competition was fierce and many populations are much worse off then ours

This is the only substantial grant of its kind PEP grant not being offered for 2007 Wait until 2008? If we tried again, chance would still be slim

that we would be chosen

Why Now?Why Now?

We can’t afford to wait years for our dreams of a quality fitness facility to become a reality

A quality P.E. and Health curriculum demands it

Health and fitness is on the hearts and minds of all Americans -> community support

The part of our building that we’re talking a about is being renovated soon anyway

We currently have the plan to put in place to create an fabulous program with an amazing facility
