A well-developed physical education program encourages skill acquisition, training, and fitness. Sportsmanship and individual performance are emphasized throughout the physical education program. Each student is expected to cooperate and encourage others to participate at the highest level of his/her ability.
The students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade develop the basic skills that are needed to advance to competitive play. The athletic program provides an opportunity for students to enhance basic skill development, develop team concepts, understand team strategies, experience lifetime leisure activities, as well as building self-confidence.
Soccer, field hockey, rope jumping, basketball, flag football, volleyball, tennis, cross country running, and core fitness are taught during the Middle School day. An all school Field Day is planned each spring to celebrate student growth, development, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
