In Physical Education, students are staying active, building skills, and having fun while learning the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and healthy habits. Each grade level is working on developing fundamental movement skills through a variety of games and activities that promote fitness and coordination. Students are also learning how to set personal goals, make positive choices for their health, and support one another through cooperation and fair play. Our goal is to help every student find joy in movement and develop lifelong habits for a healthy, active lifestyle!
