HHS Mission Statement 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.

Vision Statement for Project

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.

Objectives Build an outdoor track and field complex with

artificial turf on the infield Track complex to include lights, bleachers,

bathrooms, concessions, press box and 1st 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

Types of Research on Student Participation

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 http://www.activelivingresearch.org/files/Active_Ed.pdf

Research Continued 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

Research Continued Physical activity and physical education

may help to improve concentration and classroom behavior

Policy Changes for Usage 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

Additional Field Space 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

Benefit Summary Statements

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

Reasons for Artificial Turf

Operations Scheduling Maintenance Safety

Field Turf Operations 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.

Field Turf Scheduling 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.

Field Turf Maintenance 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.

Field Turf Safety 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 http://www.fieldturf.com/images/downloads/

Catch Phrase Associated with Proposal

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.
