A federal grant prompted physical education teachers in Chanute Public Schools to revamp curriculum, activities and programs to make a greater impact on the health of Chanute students. Funds from a federal Carol M. White Physical Education Program grant coupled with the district’s renovation and construction of new facilities have pushed K-12 students towards meeting Kansas standards for physical education and become more physically fit. By enhancing the curriculum and giving students the knowledge and skills to be physically active, those students may end up leading healthier lives.

Besides staff development, PEP funds have been used to purchase fitness circuits and equipment for elementary, middle, and high school physical education programs, provide afterschool programming and integrate with the district’s wellness activities. By incorporating interactive fitness games, introducing leisure activities, healthy eating habits and behaviors, our children should be better prepared for lifetime health.
