The Bottom Line

Impacts of New Equipment

In the previous year, Glenwood’s lowest scoring area in the SHI was employee wellness and health promotion. They were able to improve upon this by adding two massage chairs as well as a water station so teachers don’t need to go downstairs to get water. Another low area was the physical education and physical activity section. They purchased a ping pong table that both faculty and students are able to use. This allows students the opportunity to play a game they might not have previously as well as allowing staff a chance to interact with students outside the classroom. Being able to interact with students outside the rigor of the classroom has helped teachers remember why they chose teaching as a profession. To ensure a safer outside play area, mulch was also added to the playground.
