Physical Education Philosophy

Physical Education is a vital and purposeful part of each student's total educational program, which facilitates optimum physical, intellectual, social and emotional development. The healthy, physically active student is more likely to be academically motivated, alert, successful in school, and more likely to establish lifelong habits which will ensure a future healthy lifestyle. 

The physical education program at Chestnut Hill Elementary School is designed to create a positive learning ambiance that emphasizes wellness, physical fitness, social and emotional growth, and to encourage all students to lead physically active lifestyles.
