Physical education (PE) is critical to students’ overall development. However, PE is often portrayed negatively on television and in movies. Having well-trained, passionate PE teachers is essential to the success of any physical education program. Good PE teachers possess the skills to deliver a comprehensive and engaging curriculum and serve as role models, inspiring students to adopt lifelong habits of physical activity and healthy living.

Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

Our goal is to expose them to the majority of the sports we offer to both girls and boys. This allows them to try something new that they may fall in love with and want to try once they enter 6th grade.
