GAZETTE May 2017
We are super excited to announce that we have
Fitbits in Romoland! Last year we wrote a grant to the
Menifee Valley Healthy System. The grant was written
with the idea of providing wearable devices to
students to see if setting short and long-term goals
would improve their health. They loved the idea and
provided us with $50,000 to give this idea a green
light. We decided to focus on 5th grade students.
We selected 5th grade because they take the annual
Physical Fitness Test and we had enough funds to
provide the entire group with a Fitbit HR. We met with
our elementary P.E. teachers, Shawn and Sabrina, to
see if they liked the idea and would be interested in
collecting data. They LOVED the idea and were
excited about the additional opportunities this kind of
self-tracking would allow the students. They were
very clear that they wanted a device that tracked
heart-rate. We landed on the Fitbit HR. For the next
five weeks Sabrina, Shawn, and 450 5th grade
students will learn how we can best assist them in
setting short-term and long-term goals and how to
best keep track of this information. They will then re-
group over the summer and re-distribute a Fitbit HR
to all 5th grade students in the 2017-2018 class. We
are excited to see how using these devices improves
student activity and health.
