The primary aim of the Physical Education curriculum is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, values, and enthusiasm to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Physical Education is a developmentally appropriate course requiring students to cognitively learn and actively apply knowledge in a variety of movement based situations.  Both boys and girls will learn to participate together in numerous team and individual sports on an every other day basis for the full school year.  At the conclusion of this course students will have developed a better understanding of there own strengths and weaknesses as they apply to functioning as a well rounded, physically active individual.  This understanding of one’s abilities will lead to the development of a sense of self confidence that each student will be able to utilize as progress toward the High School level.
