 Our mission is to develop young men and women with active and creative minds, a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and the courage to act on their beliefs. We stress the total development of each individual: intellectual, social, emotional, and physical.

 Our vision for this project is to develop state- of-the-art facilities that operate efficiently and promote the overall well being of both our students and student-athletes.  The completion of this project will positively impact three public communities and promote physical activity as well as healthy competition for individuals of all ages.

 Build an outdoor track and field complex with artificial turf on the infield  Track complex to include lights, bleachers, bathrooms, concessions, press box and 1 st aid station  Allow baseball, softball, lacrosse to be played at the same time and increase baseball to minimum regulations  Increase safety for participants and spectators

 As of 2007 research article, more than 25 million American children were overweight or obese  Surgeon General recommends an hour of physical activity several days a week  In 2006, 2.1% of high schools incorporated daily physical education classes  Taken from tive_Ed.pdf tive_Ed.pdf

 2007 Study found that more time in classroom over time in physical activity did not improve academic achievement  Study of Michigan students showed that students enrolled in physical education class achieved equal levels of success on standardized tests More physically active students actually perform better academically  11 of 14 studies conducted between 1967 and 2006 found that physically active students performed better academically than their less active peers  Taken from

 Physical activity and physical education may help to improve concentration and classroom behavior

 Track access for all three communities  Altered policies for increased safety/security  Main entrance in addition to three alternate entrances with locked gates  Public access to track  Ticket sales for football/lacrosse games

 An additional practice field will be located between the softball field and baseball field  Field will be grass surface for use by football and lacrosse teams  Other teams may use as needed

 Fields are centrally located between HopInLead High School and the elementary school  Fields are situated to limit distractions/safety issues with foul balls, wayward kicks, etc.  Press boxes available for scoreboard operators, announcers, and administrators  Plenty of bleacher space  Opportunity to set up ticket booths

 Impacts : Physical Education Teachers and Classes, Students, Athletic Director, Coaches, Student-Athletes, General Public, Outside Vendors.  Field Turf operations are extremely efficient due to the surface’s permanent lines, weather drainage system, and overall durability.

 Impacts : Physical Education Teachers and Classes, Students, Athletic Director, Coaches, Student-Athletes, General Public, Outside Vendors.  Field Turf allows for better scheduling due to the fact that its capacity in terms of hours is approximately 3X that of a grass field surface. Field turf allows for approximately 100 hours of use 48 weeks per year, and therefore the scheduling is much easier.

 Impacts : Grounds Crew, Athletic Director, Coaches, Student-Athletes, General Public.  Annual maintenance for a grass field is approximately 10X more expensive than that of field turf ($52,000 vs. $5,000).  Turf does not require painting lines, fertilizing, lawn mowing, or any other similar services.

 Studies by California, Massachusetts, and Connecticut have shown that synthetic turf poses no health risks  Lead chromate used in turf does not leak out to where it could be ingested  Crumb rubber not seen as an ingestion risk  Research found that synthetic turf does not collect significant levels of staph bacteria  s/FieldTurf_Safety_Proven_With_Science.pdf s/FieldTurf_Safety_Proven_With_Science.pdf

Success Begins Now! By building this facility it provides hope that allows our student athletes to develop integrity and leadership qualities that will effect them in their everyday life. This facility can change the lives of these children in all areas. Being able to provide these young kids with a top of the line facility will only enhance their opportunities for success.
