WHY??
?
Mission
(Why do we exist?)
“To provide students with the skills,
knowledge, and attitudes needed to
lead a healthy and active life, now and
in the future”.
I believe…
“Every child has a fundamental
right to learn how to move and
how to take care of their bodies.”
I believe…
“Schools have a moral and ethical
responsibility to ensure all children
receive a quality physical
education.”
My goal is...
For Physical Education to become
a respected and essential part of
the school curriculum.
“Don’t mistake activity with achievement”
John Wooden
