At Austin, our physical education program emphasizes fun, fitness, and fundamentals. I hope to develop social and physical skills through games, rhythms, and sport activities. Wellness and safety concepts are highlighted during our various activities. New games and activities are added yearly to motivate students to want to come and learn, participate, and have fun. We follow a daily routine of running, warm-up, instruction, and activity. Fitness assessments are administered once a year. Age-appropriate activities are considered for students to achieve success and a feeling of satisfaction. I emphasize activity and enjoyment over competition. In physical education classes, character always counts!
