My goal as the Physical Education teacher at Acacia is to provide a quality program to all students through fun, creative, and innovative games and activities.  By moving and participating in physical activity in class and at home, students will improve their fitness levels, improve their sport skills, learn to work together with others to accomplish a task at hand, and they will apply cognitive concepts and strategies learned in class and apply them to their own individual performances and movements. I hope that students will find a passion in something we do in PE to continue doing it for the rest of their lives.  Acacia PE promotes positive choices when it comes to exercise, health, and nutrition and living a longer life, free of problems that arise from living a sedentary lifestyle.  My objective for your child is to get them moving as quickly as possible and for each child to experience some degree of success, no matter how small, each and every day in PE.  This feeling of “I can do this!” is the first step to a healthy and active future.  I look forward to the opportunity of exposing your child to a “moving experience” in PE this 2009-2010 school year at Acacia School.
