A new fitness center will soon be opening at Holley Elementary School for use by the students, staff and community. The creation of the fitness center is due to the Carol White Physical Education Program (PEP) multi-year federal grant Holley received earlier this year in the amount of $441,000. Lisa Campbell, the district’s Director of Physical Education, was instrumental in securing this grant for the district. Holley has used the grant money to purchase fitness equipment to outfit the center.
Initially, the fitness center will be open two nights per week from 6 to 8 p.m., starting in late fall/early winter. The center will be supervised by a Holley staff member and Holley Security Officers will be on duty during the community use hours. During the evening hours, children under the age of 10 will not be permitted to use the equipment. All participants will be asked to sign a waiver form in order to use the equipment.
Robert D’Angelo, Superintendent of Schools, hopes that the community will stop by the center and see what it has to offer when it opens. “I invite you to use the fitness center as your schedule permits, as it is just one more service that the school district provides the community, and we are very proud to do so,” he said.
