PhysEd meets every Tuesday from 9:00-10:00 AM Grade 6-12th
Physical Education is a fun and informative class that teaches the students the benefits of daily functional movement and the importance of acquired daily habits through consistency and discipline. Each class will incorporate a warm up, workout of the day, activity and/or game, and a cool down.
