P. E. Welcome Letter
2022-2023
August 11th, 2022
Dear Parents,
Welcome Back! The Health & Physical Education Department is looking forward to another great year. We have planned many fun and exciting activities for our students this year. Our department mission is striving to be healthy for life in mind, body, heart, and soul. Health and fitness concepts will be incorporated into all of our lessons, as well as academics, arts, technology, and the Leader in Me program. We want to impress upon our students that fitness and nutrition is a lifetime skill/habit that is necessary to prevent cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and other life threatening diseases. Encourage your child to stay active 60 minutes a day and eat a variety of healthy foods.
The Star Blazer Running Program allows students to run once a week during class. Students will earn incentive prizes for their efforts in running throughout the year. Please encourage your child to wear the proper shoes daily. Proper shoe support is important to keep your child safe and injury free. Wearing athletic shoes, for PE is required (see backside for specifics). Also if your child wears a dress or skirt, child must wear shorts underneath.
