Physical Education

The Agnew Physical Education program focuses on promoting a healthy lifestyle through physical activity. We strive to provide students with the tools to live longer, healthier lives. Researchers have recently linked exercise to increased brain activity and function. Therefore, students who participate in physical education classes have been shown to perform better in the classroom.

Grades TK, K, 1, 2 - Will focus on fitness, locomotor skills, and the rules of fair play.

Grades 3, 4 - Will learn about their muscles, flexibility, endurance, body composition, aerobic capacity, and the importance of teamwork through organized sports and muscle-specific activities.

On your child's designated PE day, please make sure they come wearing tennis shoes and clothing they can move around in easily.
