Our goal for the 2023-2024 academic year is to make Physical Education fun!  We want our students to try new sports and activities this year.  Our hope is for all students to find ways they can be active as young adults and beyond.  Throughout the year, our students will be offered choices of team sports (flag football, basketball etc.), lifetime activities (hiking, tennis, golf, pickleball etc.), and fitness classes (pilates, yoga etc.).
