STUDENT PUBLISHED
Becky Gravel, senior UMD student in Physical Education, received the Mary Lampe Scholarship from the Minnesota Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. She received this scholarship based on her UROP which consisted of writing a “Handbook of Elementary Games from Minnesota Educators”. In Becky’s research she
received a favorite game from practicing physical educators from around the state of Minnesota and composed a handbook of games. The handbook of games was then used in the UMD course PEP 1000 Teaching Games and Rhythms and given to the MAPHER organization.
