Circle Cross Ranch K-8 STEM Academy Receives $4,800 Physical Education Grant

This new technology will equip each student with the latest heart rate monitor and assessment technology. The Spirit System is a web-based assessment system that uses heart rate monitors that children wear during Physical Education Class. The heart rate monitors are designed specifically for P.E. to help students gain instant feedback on their efforts.

The system will also engage and educate students on a variety of fitness activities that optimize cardiovascular endurance, stamina, flexibility, speed, core strength, power, coordination, and self-confidence. In addition, parents and students will receive feedback as soon as class ends, through emailed reports.

This grant was provided by Keri Schoeff, PE/PA Specialist, Arizona Department of Education, Health and Nutrition Services.

“We want to thank Mr. Segar, Circle Cross Ranch K-8 STEM Academy PE Teacher, for continuing to apply for and receive grants that help our students" said Superintendent Mr. Chris Knutsen’s Quote. "I also want to thank the Arizona Department of Education Health and Nutrition Services for helping us with this grant.”
