Friday, January 9th, 2009
The Federal Government has awarded Cavalier Public School a PEP Grant worth approximately $450,000. The grant extends over three years. The school has received 13 Nautilus Nitro Plus machines.
The PEP Grant covers machines, training, and delivery costs. The school has already received 13 new machines that have a total cost of $45,000. If the school meets all of the requirements for the grant they will receive the full $450,000. Next year the school will get treadmills, exercise bikes, and ellipticals, along with a number of televisions for the weight room. The older free weights will continue to be used in combination with the new machines.
The new weight room is currently only open during the school year to students in grades 7-12. Students are only able to use the new machines when they have been properly trained by Mr. Urlaub or Mrs. Anderson.
