Here in the Burroughs PE department we take pride in creating a standards driven curriculum that is heavily influenced by our community and surroundings. We are very fortunate to be located near Lynhurst Park, Lake Harriet, and Minnehaha Creek which lends us the opportunity to expose all students to a lot of different outdoor activities. Our goal is to introduce our students to a wide variety of physical activities to help promote and discover ways to be active and healthy for a lifetime.

Themes

All units and activities within the Burroughs PE curriculum fall under one of four themes. The four themes include: Fitness, Coordination/Team Sports, Cooperative Activities, and Lifetime Activities.

Special Events

The Burroughs PE department hosts many special events and field trips throughout the year. These events are a great opportunity for friends and families to experience and be involved in the PE program in many different ways.

Fitness and Skill Challenges

Throughout the school year students will practice and develop in different areas of fitness and skills. Students will be challenged to discover their personal best with the goal of improving their best each year.
