“We are thrilled with the healthy results we’ve seen in our students this past year after implementing the CATCH curriculum…[it’s] making a huge difference in the lives of our students, their families and the overall school environment.”
- Sonia Noriega, Lead Teacher of Health & Physical Education, Ysleta ISD“Using CATCH tools and training, we expect to see a lasting positive impact on the lives of school children and their families in El Paso.”
- Catherine Oliveros, Director of Community Affairs, BCBSTX“Parents come up to us saying how great their kids have been feeling.”
- Lonny Nava, P.E. Coach, Ascarate Elementary School“Parents have responded positively to the CATCH program. We have Fast Track Friday when our parents and the community come in, and they walk with their students.”
- Michelle Casillas, Assistant Principal, Ascarate Elementary School“If we think back to old-school physical education, there was a lot of standing in line waiting for your turn. In CATCH, they try to get more kids active all at once.”
