Judith A. Resnik Elementary School

Physical Education

In physical education, it is our goal to:

• promote physical activity in and outside of school
• advocate life-long health and fitness
• ensure that students realize the long- and short-term effect that physical activity has on one's quality of life
• show students how teamwork and sportsmanship relate to school and real-life situations

In addition to our goals, we would like our students to grow an appreciation for living a healthy lifestyle. We would also want our students to use all of the skills and knowledge that have been taught to them.
