Mr. Wilcher
This school year all Mt. Lebanon elementary schools have been individually awarded a Highmark Healthy High 5 School Challenge grant of $7,278 aimed to address the growing issues of fitness and healthy living. Studies illustrate that the health habits children develop at a young age will continue with them through adulthood and the grant will support our schools’ efforts in introducing programs that will ultimately create healthier, more successful students.
All elementary schools, grades 1-5, will use the grant to implement different fitness tools to support a wellness awareness program. Dance Dance Revolution, heart rate monitors, pedometers, and Fruits and Vegetables Five nutrition program are all part of the grant.
