Testimonials
Our walking path has impacted our school atmosphere greatly. The students and I walk in the mornings with many students also choosing to walk the path during recess. Student and community wellness has definitely improved!
Gina Dupps
With the assistance of the Upgrade staff, we were able to create and implement the Super Active PE curriculum. Upgrade helped with the cost of program equipment and we now have monthly lessons that focus on specific skills and activities.

Because of Upgrade, we were able to pave our existing track and create a paved walking path! Our students and staff LOVE to get out on a nice day and walk or run! We also now have monthly plans for our PE classes that the teachers and kids love!
