I am so very glad that I get to be part of the Star Academy community. As I begin my 23rd year as an educator, I feel so grateful that I get to be the PE teacher here at Star Academy. I look forward to another year of movement, fun, & sweat!

Physical education, (PE), isn't just about running and doing curl-ups, of course. Throughout the year all student scholars will learn how to move their bodies safely, follow the rules of fun games, collaborate with teammates, and develop a deeper understanding of the skills needed to compete in a variety of sports. I look forward to encouraging every student to develop and maintain positive attitudes toward physical activity. We will also learn how being active contributes to a healthy lifestyle.

Star students should wear athletic clothing and shoes that allow them to be physically active for PE. Parents, please remind your student to choose appropriate clothing and shoes on their PE day each week.

Families, I look forward to partnering with you this year to help your scholar find success! Please contact me any time you have questions, comments, or concerns at ssemple@natomascharter.org.
