Seward Physical Education
Welcome back to the 2021 - 2022 School year
Welcome back to the 2021 - 2022 School year
Lots of big changes happening at Seward this year. We have a new principal, different grade levels, a new start time, lots of new faces. Another change is the specialist schedule. This year we will be on a day rotation for specialists. The rotation will include Physical Education, Art, Music, Media, Health, and Science. Since we are on a 6 day rotation, I recommend if able to have your children leave a pair of tennis shoes at school in their cubby/locker so they are always prepared for PE class.

A little about me
A little about me
My name is Jennifer Engelken, aka "Ms. Huff" (my maiden name). I've been a Seward Shark since 2019 and have had three wonderful children in that time. My son Wyatt and my twins Graham and Audrey. I'm quite busy at home but wouldn't have it any other way, I love children and look forward to every day teaching.
