What We Teach

The Suffern School District elementary physical education program focuses on meeting the individual needs of the student. It is structured to provide each child with an opportunity to develop social and physical skills along with an understanding of a variety of physical activities. By exposing children to many different physical activities and experiences, students learn to develop the capacity to analyze their own physical, emotional, intellectual and social well- being. This exposure allows each student to take appropriate measures to maintain a balance that will lead to a productive, happy, and healthy life. The elementary physical education program aims to create an enjoyment of physical activity that extends outside the school setting.
