From Page A1

PEP grant provides funds for qualifying school systems to implement a fitness-based curriculum in their schools’ PE. programs.

With the new fitness emphasis, Rappahannock’s PE. programs will make a concerted effort to ensure all students achieve a fitness level that prepares them to live more active lives now and later in life.

Knowing that most good habits begin at home, the school system hopes that by helping community members achieve a higher fitness level, students will in turn be encouraged to get fit.

The fitness center will be open to community members Monday through Friday from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m., and on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

The center consists of a weight room and a cardiovascular room. The weight room has free weights and resistance equipment while the cardiovascular room has five new treadmills, three recumbent exercise bikes, an upright bike and several elliptical trainers. The newly painted and air conditioned room features such amenities as a large screen television and a digital scale.
