The Cooper Institute teamed with OMRON, a leading medical equipment manufacturer, to pilot a pedometer study at Healthy Zone School, Marion Elementary.

Fifty fourth-grade students took the six week pedometer challenge and loved it. We're evaluating results, but please continue to encourage kids to be active throughout the school day.
