Physical Education

Thanks for the great years here at St. Margarets! I have really enjoyed my students and coworkers and will miss them all. I am excited about my new adventures. It is important to follow your dreams. Mrs. Kurzhals

Saint Margaret's Physical Education Curriculum

The Saint Margaret’s Physical Education program aims to educate students to become lifelong learners of health and wellness by participating in activities that develop behaviors which encourage lifelong physical activity in and outside of the educational setting, healthy decision making and appropriate social skills. The unique nature of Physical Education affords an individual the chance to not only develop skills that will allow them to become physically fit and remain active, but to take ownership for their own health and wellness. Individuals learn to value activity and movement, develop appropriate personal and social behavior, and develop an understanding that physical activity provides opportunities for enjoyment, social interaction and create an edge against chronic disease.


To a year of happy and healthy students

Happy new year and welcome 2022!
