6th Grade Physical Education

VISION

The Vision of the HMS PE Department is to refocus physical education to a wellness-based model that encourages fitness for a lifetime, regardless of athletic ability. Students are exposed to multiple activities he or she can embrace and enjoy for a lifetime. Along the way students will:
  • Participate in team activities while demonstrating sportsmanship, teamwork, and cooperation.
  • Understand how being fit can affect their physical, mental and social well-being.
  • Use technology as a tool to monitor and improve their level of fitness.
