Physical Education & Health 


Our Physical Education Department goal includes helping students understand that proper nutrition, adequate sleep, and physical activity can all impact academic performance and overall mental and physical wellness. We are here to encourage your children to support these healthy behaviors at all stages of development.  You can help us to motivate your child to establish healthy eating habits by teaching them how they can select the healthier foods including fruits, vegetables, protein and more. Physical Fitness and movement are also priorities to support a healthy mind and body.  We encourage students to engage in healthy physical activity every day.  Below you will find an example of how you can encourage your child to move and become physically active while having some fun!    Use this link for a parent toolkit of information that may interest you.
