Mrs. Swanger's Fitness Footnotes

The physical education philosophy at Etowah is simple. "Kid's First!" Your child's safety, well-being, fitness and character is my first thoughts as I plan and teach.

I will teach your child how to move safely as they perform various exercises, learn skills and play games. Please help me keep them safe by having your child wear TENNIS SHOES on physical education days. No tennis shoes=no play.

Students will learn health related information that will help their overall well-being and gain an understanding of how their bodies and muscles work.

Students will learn how to perform various traditional and non-traditional sport skills. They will learn ways to increase their overall fitness at school and home.

Students will learn about character. Students will learn how they can respect differences, cooperate, become leaders and the importance of teamwork.

My goal is for students to understand the importance of their health and become lifelong movers!

Lastly, please help me by encouraging your child to become more active and making healthy choices at school and home, by being respectful to others, school property, teachers and friends, eating nutrient filled meals and getting plenty of exercise. Remember, you are the greatest influence on your child. I thank you for the support you give our program and school.
