Just because they're surrounded by nature...

doesn't mean Lockwood students don't need a bit of exercise.
The San Antonio Union School District, a stone throw away from Lake San Antonio, has received a US Department of Education Carol White Physical Education Grant that includes $9,000 for the Big Sur Marathon's Just Run Program. The tiny school district, surrounded by lovely rolling hills and vineyards, kicked off the event on Feb. 8 with Mike Dove and Susan Love from the Big Sur Marathon.
“We are excited to implement the PEP Grant this year with our students, staff and community” Superintendent/Principal Linda Irving said. “We were one of over 700 applicants with only 77 selected from throughout the country.” The goals of the grant are to improve physical fitness through activity and nutrition, promoting lifelong wellness.

I STAND CORRECTED: An earlier version of this post had the donor/recepient of the grant mixed up, so now you're reading the corrected version (and I erased the incorrect version to prevent further confusion.) Thanks to alert reader and Chinatown Renewal Project guru Ken Feske for setting me straight.
