But Normal West hasn’t settled for just the mini and standard grants Beyond the Books offers, and has many past successes with their grants. Three of West’s departments have won the Beyond the Books in the past: the Science department, and PE department in 2023-2024, and last year multiple departments and classes joined together to win.

As stated before, the PE department achieved the Beyond the Books grant in 2023-2024, allowing Aubin to buy a whole class of 50 heart-rate watches.

“[They] have been awesome for the PE Department. Nearly every PE class uses them once a week whenever they are in the cardio room, so I would say the vast majority of Normal West students get to use the watches,” PE teacher Chad Aubin explains.
