4-25-18 fdl school district pep grants paying dividends

Fond du Lac elementary school students are benefiting from two grants designed to help students keep physically active.  The District received the Carolyn M. White Physical Education Program (PEP) grant  in 2016.   The first grant is called the Active Core 4+. which involves increasing physical activity within the regular classroom.   An Active Core 4+ School creates ways for students to get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.  Rosenow was the first school to become an Active Core 4+ school in Spring 2017 and Evans,  Pier, Riverside, and Roberts joined Rosenow in the 2017-18 school year. The other PEP grant is being used to encourage children to make educated choices in order to decrease their risk of obesity and improve their health.
