Mission Statement

 

We believe the purpose of the physical education program is to encourage children to develop a positive attitude about themselves and physical activity so that they choose to be physically active throughout their lives. Children need a variety of movement experiences to develop a healthy mind and body that is capable of learning. The involvement of young children in daily physical activity during school hours is critical for their current and future health.

We:

Teach developmentally appropriate physical education lessons

Build each child’s self-esteem

Differentiate lessons so each child can be successful

Make physical education a fun, positive learning experience

Instill positive social behaviors

Make each lesson safe, physically and emotionally

Make connections to everyday life through the lessons we teach

Teach children the importance of living a healthy lifestyle
