The Physical Education curriculum focuses on cognitive learning and positive movement experiences that incorporate basic health and wellness concepts. Our goal is to empower our students to make mindful and healthier lifestyle choices, both now and into adulthood. Instruction will include presentations, fitness warm ups and activities that directly or indirectly link to the Five Components of Physical Fitness, F.I.T.T. principles, injury prevention, and resource management. Our focus de-emphasizes skill and emphasizes the personal benefits of a physical lifestyle.
