"Exercise and recreation... are as necessary as reading.  I will rather say more 
necessary, because health is worth more than learning."    Thomas Jefferson

We believe quality physical education:
   promotes a sound mind in a sound body.
   promotes active learning through movement.
   improves cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance & strength, & flexibility.
   helps students understand the value of lifetime physical activity.
   promotes mental and social well being through individual and group activity.
   helps reduce stress through daily physical activity.
   gives students an increased awareness of their bodies' capabilities.
   develops skills which encourage lifetime physical activities.
   stresses enjoyment of play versus competitive outcomes.
   exposes students to a wide variety of activities.
   reaches students who would not otherwise be physically active.
   helps students respect physical, mental and cultural differences.
     is fun!!
