Physical Education is that phase of the general education program that contributes to the total growth and development of each child, primarily through movement experiences. Program objectives provide the framework and direction for the physical education curriculum. Systematic and properly taught physical education can help achieve the major content standards, including movement competence, maintaining physical fitness, learning personal health and wellness skills, applying movement concepts and skill mechanics, developing lifetime activity skills, and demonstrating positive social skills. Modern programs of physical education have been influenced by cultural and educational factors related to games, sports, fitness, educational movement, perceptual-motor competency, federal mandates, value and attitude development, the Surgeon General's report, and the nationwide emphasis on physical activity. Please contact Bain LaPlant, or Cade Hardin, our PE teachers, for more information or if you have any questions.
