Teacher Feedback
“The pedometers are a challenge to manage, but the SPARK
training and equipment has had a huge, positive impact on
our morning PE program. We now teach with more
confidence and skill and the students have enough
equipment and variety to stay engaged. We love PE at
Sunset!”
-Melissa Bush, Sunset Middle School Teacher
