CM awarded $10K for fitness area
Clinton-Massie Local Schools has been awarded a $10,000 grant from HealthFirst for Clinton County. The money will be used to further expand the Community Handicapped Accessible Outdoor Fitness Area located near the entrance to the YMCA Daycare on the Clinton-Massie campus.
With the funds, an outdoor stationary bicycle will be added to the area, along with additional sensory equipment for all ages, as well as a slide geared for the age group of 2 to 5, according to Cindy Stenger, wellness coordinator and district school nurse for Clinton-Massie who applied for the grant.
She said she also is still looking for donations or grants for ground coverings for the fitness area.
The goal of the area is to provide a free handicapped accessible place that people of all ages and fitness levels can use to provide a positive impact on the health of the community, said Stenger.
