The ancient Greeks believed in
the importance of "a sound mind,
and a sound body." Physical
Education helps you feel good and
look your best. Physical
Education also helps students
achieve greater success in
academics. Proper fitness and dress
is very important for P.E. It allows
maximum comfort and freedom of
movement. P.E. helps students to
cope with stress, improves mental
alertness, and enhances your
academic performance. Physical
Education and school
undoubtedly go hand in hand.
P.E. teachers such as, Mrs. Lee, Mr.
Stiman, Mr. Pontius, and Mrs.
Kellog, emphasize the importance
of being fit for life. Aside from
physical education, students are
taught proper nutrition, in order to
lead a healthy lifestyle. Once a
week students are required to
complete a one mile timed run
which is then recorded for a grade.
The ninth grade curriculum con-
sists of reading from a textbook,
"Fit For Life". "Fit For Life", takes
a step by step approach to
teaching the correct way to stay
active and fit.
