Hello!
My name is Megan Balfe, and I have been teaching elementary physical education in the Douglas County School District since 2001. Prior to that, I taught Health and P.E. for six years in Fairfax County Public Schools in Northern Virginia.
I hold a degree in Kinesiology and Health Education from James Madison University and earned my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Colorado Christian University.
I am passionate about health and fitness and believe in making the most of every day. Do what you love, love what you do! I strive to instill the value of living a healthy, active lifestyle in my students by teaching developmentally appropriate skills and introducing them to a variety of lifelong physical activities and sports.
My professional goal is to provide a high-quality physical education program that helps students become confident, competent, and physically active individuals. Discover a physical activity you enjoy, and do it for life!
My husband and I have two sons. One is a senior at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and the other has recently graduated from Mountain Vista High School. I enjoy staying physically active. My favorite fitness activities include yoga, HIIT, running, swimming, biking, and skiing.
We participate in the annual Run for Independence 5K each year in Winter Park, Colorado.
