Class overview

Hello and Welcome to Eldridge Park School!  My name is Frederick "PJ" Barrett and I am excited to be your child's Health and Physical Education Teacher.   Please feel free to explore this site to access information regarding the Units of instruction, Expectations, Special Events, as well as valuable resources.  I thank you for visiting and look forward to working with you and your family throughout the school year. 

                             

The goal of Elementary Physical Education at Eldridge Park School is to work with our students to instill a love of learning and healthy living habits that will last a lifetime.  We accomplish that by having students participate in a wide variety of activities, sports, and challenges that will increase their physical, social, and mental abilities, as well as teamwork and cooperation skills.  We hope to provide a safe, fun, and motivating class that will encourage all students to want to participate, have fun and try their best.  Focused Fitness activities, health, nutrition, muscles, and bones are implemented into P.E. classe, as well as integrating Core subject areas such as math and spelling.  

About me

Greetings! My name is Frederick “PJ” Barrett and I am beginning my 24th year as an employee of the LTPS district.  After graduating from our very own Lawrence High School, I attended Mercer County Community College before transferring to The College of New Jersey. While at the College of New Jersey, I earned both a Health and Physical Education and Masters of Education degree.  When I am not teaching, I can usually be found outside spending time with family, playing/coaching soccer, gardening, or fishing.
