Cassandra Still and Brooke Barnett

Still and Barnett’s innovative teaching idea, “Dynamic Physical Education,” focuses on creating lifelong learners through collaboration between health and physical education programs. Embracing a multi-faceted approach to health and wellness, the project will incorporate a wide range of activities from yoga to weight lifting. With the Voya grant, Still and Barnett aim to impact the whole community by encouraging students to take what they learn in their exercise and relaxation classes home to teach and apply alongside their parents. They hope the program will instill enthusiasm within the students so they will be able to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, propelling them to achieve new heights of success by becoming engaged, life-long learners.
