Tuesday October 13, 2009 - Employees

Culley Elementary School PE Specialist Jurgen Kraehmer received a $1500 Junior League Educational Grant to promote healthy habits by using pedometers to measure calories in and calories out. Among other things, the pedometers purchased through the grant will be used to to implement technology within Culley’s PE program and to teach students how to interpret and use the data collected from the pedometers to create personal fitness and nutrition goals. Kraehmer says the pedometers also will be used in the school’s Mighty Milers walk/jog/run program in the morning before school and during lunch recess.
