Physical Education and Fitness

The purpose and objective of the Physical Education and Fitness program is to help students develop a positive, life-long attitude toward physical activity and its benefits. The program encourages all students to develop physically, socially, and mentally while striving to perform physical tasks to the best of their abilities. Throughout the curriculum, teachers stress the acquisition of age-appropriate fundamental skills, an understanding of rules and strategy, and an appreciation of sports citizenship and cooperation.

Physical education is a learning process that focuses on increasing knowledge and shaping attitudes and behaviors relative to physical activities including exercise, games, and sports. These activities may take place either inside or outside of school.
