Senator Carper Helps Kick Off PEP Grant for Healthy
Kids
Funding from Nemours
Health and Prevention Services will Support Programs
in Nine Schools
Senator Tom
Carper attended a gym class with
kindergarten students from Downes Elementary
School on January 12 to help the District
and the Nemours
 Foundation highlight a grant
that will
bring increased physical activity to
students in nine district schools.
Nemours wants
to promote 150 minutes per week of
school-based physical activity for
elementary students in Delaware by providing
a combination of materials and equipment,
teacher training, and online resources.
Carper and the kindergarten students
demonstrated some ways to keep in shape
including skipping, dancing and hula-hooping.
The class was lead by physical education
teacher Sandy Hudson.
