Sports & "Stuff"
Students at Rush Arts usually have a pre-conceived notion in their heads that they need to be athletic to be successful in the Physical Education class. That is simply not true. It is true that the athletic students tend to find Phys Ed class easier, we are not trying to teach you to be a superstar athlete in this course (though Mr. Corabi and Mr. Doyle will certainly be on the look out for students that might be helpful to our teams!)
