What does your child learn in PE Health and Wellness?

PE Health and Wellness is a program founded on the belief that every student in the public schools, from kindergarten through grade twelve, should have the opportunity to participate in a quality physical education program. It is the unique role of such a program to help all students develop health-related physical fitness, physical skill competence, cognitive understanding, and positive attitudes about physical activity so that they can lead physically active, healthy lifestyles throughout the years to come. Well-designed and well-run physical education programs are also vitally important because they provide learning experiences that meet students’ developmental needs, in turn helping to improve their mental alertness, academic performance, and readiness and enthusiasm for learning.
