Health and Fitness links for kids and parents
   

Thank you for visiting the Physical Education website!! I sincerely hope that every child has a great experience in class so they will continue to be healthy and active for their whole life. If we get hooked on movement at a young age there is a much greater chance of continued participation!

My personal philosophy of Physical Education is to provide a safe and caring environment where every child can feel successful and comfortable enough to take risks as they explore different sports and activities. My goal is for every child to find at least one thing they enjoy and want to continue playing as they grow up and on into adulthood. My focus is on lifetime physical activity and health-related activity goals. We will cover many different team and individual sports and games throughout the year. I believe that young children also need time just to play and enjoy moving, in a safe and respectful way.

On a personal note, I graduated from Oregon State University (go Beavers!!) in 2006 and moved to the area with my wife Crystal, who is also a teacher. I love many different sports particularly running, soccer, ultimate Frisbee and golf. I am hoping to get into kayaking around these beautiful islands we have here, and we love backpacking at Mt. Rainier.

Please feel free to stop by and join in your child's P.E class anytime. Parents are the single greatest influence on a child, and if you are modeling a healthy lifestyle and being active with them it is a great gift!

I am always looking for ideas for class, so if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. If you ever have questions or concerns please e-mail or call me anytime. Thanks!
