Berrien County Collaborative Receives Carol White Physical Education Grant
U.S. Department of Education Awards $26.5 Million in Grants to Help Make Children Healthier and More Active
FOR RELEASE:
July 13, 2009
As a result of $26.5 million in awards from the U.S. Department of Education, more children will have access to physical education programs and instruction on healthy eating and good nutrition. The Carol M. White Physical Education Program grants will provide 73 public schools and community-based organizations in 25 states with funds to initiate, expand and improve physical education programs for students in grades K-12.
“Physical activity and healthy eating habits are as important as studying hard in school,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. “The Department of Education will be doing more to make this connection to students and adults, and to educate our children in ways that can maintain good health.”
The Carol M. White Physical Education Program grant awards can be used to provide equipment and support for students to participate actively in physical education activities, as well as for staff and teacher training and education.

We can end hunger!
I've just taken action with the ONE campaign and asked my senators to set an example for the world by fully funding a request for $1.36 billion in global agricultural development funding.
I hope you'll join me: http://www.one.org/us/ag09/index.html?rc=ag09taf
This action couldn't be more urgent. Next week, President Obama and world leaders will meet in Rome for the G8 Summit. If we can convince the senate to step-up the fight against hunger now, America will set an example for the world and put pressure on other countries to invest in a global effort to end hunger.

Together as ONE we can make a difference!
