Our Mission and Sacred Obligation:

The mission of Physical Education is to provide the best moving experience for every student, motivating them to embrace the best use of their individual abilities. As Physical Educators, our sacred obligation is to foster a lifelong love of fitness. This will equip them with the skills and understanding necessary to take care of the physical gift of their body that God has entrusted to them. Upon graduation from an Archdiocese of Philadelphia Elementary School, our students will be able to envision and pursue a healthy lifestyle while understanding the benefits of being physically, socially, and mentally fit while living in the imitation of christ.

My Phys. Ed class will challenge students with cooperative games, traditional athletics and many non-traditional fitness activities which initiate a life long love of movement. I will stress a positive attitude, continuous effort and prompt follow through on all tasks in the gym.

My goal is to provide a fun, safe learning environment that encourages positive self-esteem, respect for others, cooperation, sportsmanship, self-control, problem solving, body awareness and spatial awareness.

Students will participate in activities that are designed to help them understand and value physical fitness and its contribution towards a healthy lifestyle. Our traditional athletics programs will be supported while promoting a healthy and passionate Spirit of the Game in the imitation of Christ.
