"Learning is best when teachers connect the art and science of teaching and are given opportunities to develop autonomy, mastery, and purpose in the service of improving their craft."

The Physical Education and Health programs are designed to inspire, nurture, and empower ALL students to love movement for wellness and
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Physical Education and Health are very relevant subjects that extend well beyond the classroom. From birth throughout life, we are designed to move. An active body produces an active mind. Physical activity and fitness improve the quality of life as well as increases self-esteem. PE and Health provide instruction and life skills in a variety of movement practices, healthy eating habits and decision-making. These skills and lessons help to prevent diseases such as obesity, some types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, reduce stress, heart disease, depression and anxiety. Our vision is to build relationships with students, parents and our community to ensure that whole child development is our most important investment and priority.
