About PE

At Lambert Elementary, your child will be participating in a quality Physical Education program, the cornerstone for developing an active lifestyle. Our program consists of developmentally appropriate activities that create maximum opportunities for development of skills, knowledge, health-related fitness, and ultimately, the confidence to enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.

There will be several underlying themes during the school year in Physical Education class. Positive sportsmanship is stressed in every activity that we participate in during class. We want students to understand that winning is not the top priority in Physical Education class. Rather, focus will be on playing fair, cooperation with others, respecting everyone, and learning new activities and skills to help you stay healthy.

Your child’s learning environment is safe and provides opportunities for success. Physical Education offers the chance for your child to develop habits for lifetime fitness and health. Research indicates that students who receive quality Physical Education experiences during the day, participate in more physical activities after school. During this school year, we want to encourage you to participate in your child’s physical development and fitness. Children need a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity every day, and what better way than playing together?! Go for a walk, take a bike ride, or toss a ball around. It is so very important for your children to see you being physically active as role models. Thank you for partnering with our Physical Education program to develop your child’s lifetime health and fitness. By working together, we can bring the joy of health and physical activity to your child and family.
