Mission Statement

 

bullet

My mission is to instill in all students a lifelong love of exercise. I want to teach all students, no matter their ability level, the benefits of physical education. I will establish high expectations for my students and in turn hold them responsible for their actions. I want to show students I care by demonstrating a strong passion towards physical education and have that passion reflect in my teaching.

In my classroom, I emphasize the importance of choosing a healthy lifestyle.  Students are encouraged to be active playing, having fun, walking their dog, or playing a sport —every day for a minimum of 60 minutes (recommended by COPEC, the Council on Physical Education for Children).
