P.E.
Physical Education at Genesee Hill
In our Physical Education classes, students participate in activities that focus on 3 main areas:
- Increased personal fitness (cardio, muscle endurance, strength and flexibility)
- Improved motor skills (kicking, throwing, catching, balance etc.)
- 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.
