Welcome to Physical Education 2020/2021
"Physical Education is the only subject which, by the very nature of its content, has the potential to affect how a person will feel every moment of every day for the rest of his or her life."
-Allen Russell
John F. Kennedy stated, "Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

-Jim Rohn
Physical education this year will be very different compared to past years. Until further notice we will be doing Remote Teaching through Canvas. On Canvas students will have a variety of assignments each week and will always have a fitness log to fill out to track their physical activity.
Some precautions to remember are when participating in any physical activity are:
- Wear comfortable clothing and sneakers during activity
- Put on appropriate gear for the activity, such as helmets and protective pads
- Always warm up before doing exercise and cool down afterwards to lower the risk of strains and sprains
- Take appropriate breaks during the activity
- Do not exercise with an empty stomach
- Drink small amounts of water just before and during activity, along with plenty of water after physical activity.
- Listen to your body. Do not exercise if you are not feeling well. If you feel dizzy, short of breath, or nausea while exercising stop the activity and let your parents know.
- Keep social distancing -- do individual activities or activities with your family.
