Grant Snapshot: Heart Rate Monitors

Alison Johnson, PE Teacher
Bauer Elementary

Last winter, Ms. Alison Johnson partnered with the HEF and Bauer Parent Club to introduce heart rate monitors to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at Bauer Elementary. The arm-worn sensors record the students’ heart rates and their heart rate zone is projected for them to see. The use of heart rate monitors helps shift students’ mindsets and gives them the knowledge they need to live a healthy lifestyle into adulthood.
