CES Physical Education
Welcome to the CES Physical Education Website!! Use this website as a means to find information about what we do here in the gym at Churchville Elementary School!
It is our goal to create a fun, safe and physically active environment to assist our young people in making wise and healthy decisions about their body and enable them gain a greater appreciation for living a healthy life style. Following the three guidelines below will help us achieve this goal!
Students need to wear sneakers in order to participate in class. It is helpful to have students wear Velcro fastening sneakers if they are unable to tie their own shoe.
Students should wear clothes which allow them to participate in physical activities: dresses, skirts and jewelry should be avoided.
Students will be expected to actively participate in class unless they have a note from home, family doctor or the school nurse.
