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.
