The weight room at Eunice High School is getting an upgrade.
While most of the weights in the space are large, heavy weights used by male students, Coach Jeanne Elfert says she wanted smaller dumbbells for core strength and weight exercises for her girls' PE classes.
“I wanted to show them how, off of a couple of dumbbells, they could have a full-body workout,” she says.
Elfert plans to create workout routines and incorporate the dumbbells in lessons for years to come.
“Eunice High School is home. We’re all family,” she says. “I love them with all my heart, and I want to teach them anything I can.”
