Physical Education at Genesee Hill

In our Physical Education classes, students participate in activities that focus on 3 main areas:

1. Increased personal fitness (cardio, muscle endurance, strength and flexibility)
2. Improved motor skills (kicking, throwing, catching, balance etc.)
3. Increased knowledge of health and fitness (body systems, nutrition, fitness concepts, and more)

P.E. is also a time to build social skills and improve personal character through teamwork and problem solving!

Students/Parents: Please be sure to wear the correct attire on P.E. days; clothes and shoes you can run, jump and climb in.
