Physical Education
|
The goal of P.E. is to provide a non-threatening environment where all students can participate in a comprehensive, sequential program that promotes physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. Students are expected to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to participate in life-long physical activity and a healthy life style. The success of the P.E. program comes from the team effort on the part of students, parents, and teacher.
