Our goal is to provide a quality physical education program, introducing students to
a variety of activities throughout the year that will encourage enjoyment of physical
activity.
We strive to provide students with the skills, knowledge and confidence that will
enable them to become a lifelong physically active person.
We want the students to understand the importance of physical activity in
maintaining a healthy lifestyle and the lifetime benefits of health and wellness.
We hope to keep students active, engaged and feeling successful while
emphasizing kindness, cooperation and respect for one another.
