This multimedia presentation will discuss the use of heart rate monitors, five computerized fitness assessment machines, electronic clipboards and a cpmputerized stress management program. Participants will view our physical education classes, health classes, theme classes and how, with the use of technology and our high tech Wellness Center, these classes are designed to teach the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices.
