  Archery in Schools
Taking aim: Fritsch P.E. class opens students' eyes to unique sport.

After receiving outdoor wilderness training, physical education teacher Laura Valley is teaching a national archery unit to her fourth- and fifth-graders. The program is sponsored by grants from Safari Club International and Bighorns Unlimited. “It's not all about hunting,” Valley explained. “It's about a sport that's been around hundreds of years. It's an Olympic sport.”

Random Acts of Fitness!

During the month of March we want to introduce NEVADA to RANDOM ACTS OF FITNESS! The goal was to FLOOD NEVADA with Random Acts of Fitness – make it a national phenomenon. Events were held throughout the month of March state wide. During an organized walk at the high school a group of students and teacher from Bordewich Bray Elementary School showed up and participated.

Bordewhich Bray Elementary School recently held a reading and nutrition night for member of their school community. The parents and students were able to learn make a nutritious snack as well as enjoy the skill of reading together.

A family food and fitness events occurred at Crestwood Elementary. It was a huge success with kids and their families being able to get active and learn together. The UNLV Women’s Soccer team attended the event making it very special along with Northwest Tech who provided Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Checks. Another bonus for the night was Master Brandon from Brandon’s ATA Academy who volunteered his time and expertise to the process of empowering families with life skills.
