Core Activities:

Using Polar:
The school budget provided the funding for Fayetteville-Manlius High School to get Polar technology. Fayetteville-Manlius started using Polar with just HRMs in class and later built their P.E. program with other Polar products. Now students at Fayetteville-Manlius have an increased awareness of their fitness and wellness. For Matt, the most important reason to use Polar is to, "facilitate the teaching of health and wellness concepts to our students."
