Bradford K-4 Physical Education

 

Physical Education at Bradford

My goal for Elementary P.E. is for students find a way to use physical activity to improve both physical and mental health. This is achieved through a variety of activities that we will encounter in the gym and outside on the field (when the weather permits). This class provides a much needed break and escape through physical activity that can translate to success in the classroom setting. It also allows students to be exposed to the idea of consistent physical activity helps translate to a healthy lifestyle. 

Sportsmanship and positive interactions amongst teammates and opponents alike will be a primary focus in my class. I preach the term "healthy competitiveness." In essence, it promotes the idea of putting forth great effort and skill execution in attempt to win, yet acknowledging that the way in which you deal with victory or defeat is even more important than said result. 

Activities in P.E. will include but are not limited to: Basketball, Soccer, Floor Hockey, Limited Contact Football, Kickball, Wiffleball, Frisbee, Tag & Evasion games, Juggling/Cup Stacking skills, & Yard games.

About Mr. Stambaugh

I'm very excited to start my first year as an elementary P.E at Bradford. I have been teaching and coaching in Jefferson County Public Schools since 2011. After 5 years as an English/Language Arts teacher in middle school, I made the transition to the gym and taught P.E. at Deer Creek Middle School for the last 7 years. 

During this time I spent 6 years as a basketball coach and 4 years as the head golf coach at Chatfield. At the conclusion of the 2020 school I was honored to be awarded the 5A Jeffco Boys assistant coach of the year.

In my free time you're likely to find me on an area golf course, attending a concert or getting out on the town with wife and two children (8 & 6). 

I'm looking forward to this new opportunity at a new school. I think P.E. is a vitally important aspect of the education system and I look forward to providing daily fun in the gym througout the school year!
