Physical Education

Students in kindergarten through grade 8 participate in physical education classes two times per week. Classes use the full-size gym across the street at St. Patrick Church as well as the hard surface and grassy areas at the school. All students are assessed on growth based on developmentally appropriate skills, including sportsmanship and ball skills. Kindergarten through grade 2 students work on locomotor as well as non-locomotor movements. Grades 3 through 8 are also assessed on teamwork and participate in fitness testing. Each year students look forward to participating in Jump Rope for Heart, square dancing, ping pong and shuffle board.


Health

All kindergarten through 8th grade students participate in our health program. Health topics include nutrition, personal hygiene, exercise, time and stress management, and goal setting. Stranger danger and home, bicycle, and pedestrian safety are covered as well. Guest speakers and technology are used to enhance the curriculum.
