Health and physical education are more important today than they have ever been. I hope to implement a fun, well rounded program that will get my students excited about physical education.
Being at such a small school, my students miss out on a lot of extra curricular activities like team sports. I hope to bridge that gap by being able to introduce these activities during PE, giving them a foundation they can stand on upon entering high school.

This is where physical education goes beyond physical fitness and is shown to improve academic performance and reduce stress and anxiety.
