The goal of the Middle School P.E. program is to instill a positive attitude toward leading an active and healthy lifestyle, one that will enrich the quality of each student's life.
To this end, P.E. includes an intramural program designed to bolster skills and introduce team sport concepts to the students, as well as a more-traditional fitness and lifetime activities program tailored to bolster the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development needs unique to early adolescence.
Activities and games are designed to demonstrate proper sportsmanship, build positive self-concepts, instill attitudes of self-responsibility, reinforce notions of safety and risk-management, and have fun. Cognitive goals include building an understanding of the rules and regulations of various games as well as their offensive and defensive strategies. Games taught include: basketball, flag football, floor hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. Students have opportunities to demonstrate an improvement in personal fitness levels and to put into action the skills they've developed during class time.
