Our goal is to develop a program that promotes healthy bodies and positive attitudes towards LIFETIME physical activity, by developing the foundational motor and fitness skills. Each student will be empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to make responsible lifestyle choices that will directly impact his/her physical well-being. Twice a week students will be exposed to each of the five health-related components of fitness to live an active lifestyle: flexibility, muscular strength, cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular endurance, and body composition. Through a variety of units throughout the year, students will also be working on improving their agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, and speed, which are essential skills to developing an active lifestyle. In addition to this, intermediate students will participate in fitness testing to monitor their progress and set goals.
