Physical Education

The mission of the physical education department is to instill the love of movement and exercise through various games and skills. Each student is encouraged to set physical goals to meet individual needs and interests. Gross motor skills are taught through games, drills and working on game related skills.

The integration of cooperative games puts emphasis on team building skills. The teaching of good sportsmanship and the idea of inclusion is strongly encouraged. All students are given the opportunity to participate equally.

The health segment of the program varies for each grade and starts at the second grade. We strive to bring new and creative ideas to enhance the learning experience.
