Bike Club and Trail Improvements at South Middle School in Morgantown allowed for students to be able to participate in a safe and fun after school activity.
Many of the Pineville Middle School
students are of lower income
households and geographically isolated.
It can be hard for them to participate in
afterschool activities due to
transportation and more. Allowing the
opportunity to participate in volleyball
during the day improves physical
activity
Having an accessible playground for
all students is important in improving
physical activity during the school
day. Making the playground
accessible at all times unrestricted
allows for families in the community
to participate in physical activity.
The main goal for this success story was to develop a walking track on campus to promote physical activity at South Middle School in Martinsburg.
This sector incorporates a range of educational contexts that span the entire developmental perspective from early childhood centers to PreK-12 schools, to institutions of higher education and related community outreach initiatives serving all age groups. These education organizations represent the heart of many local communities and serve as a bridge to each societal sector. Perhaps most visibly, professionals within our PreK–12 schools teach future generations the skills necessary to succeed in life, including how to make healthy decisions and live well. Schools provide a structured and safe environment for children/youth to learn and grow into healthy, contributing members of society.
Improving the culture of physical activity in our state by providing awareness, education, guidance, and opportunities.
