Physical Education


Meet Mrs. Balfe

Hello! I'm Megan Balfe and I've been teaching elementary physical education in DCSD since 2001. Before teaching in DCSD I taught Health & P.E. for 6 years in Fairfax County Public Schools in Northern Virginia. I graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Kinesiology and Health Education. I earned my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Colorado Christian University. I believe in making the most of everyday. DO WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU DO! I have always had a passion for health and fitness. I strive to instill the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle to my students through teaching developmentally appropriate skill sets and lifelong activities and sports. My professional teaching goal is to provide a high quality physical education program by creating proficient and confidant physically active students. Discover a physical activity you enjoy doing, and do it for life. 

My husband and I have two sons who are in 11th grade and a second year at Cal Poly, SLO, CA. I love being physically active. My fitness hobbies include yoga, H.I.I.T., running, swimming, biking, and skiing.

We participate in the Run For Independence 5k every year in Winter Park, CO.
