Our Vision

Everybody has a body that we learn how to make stronger and keep healthy. We take responsible risks, examine the results, and identify the next steps to care for our bodies.  We believe in nourishing habits that don't just last during our time in school but lay the foundation for a lifetime of health and happiness.

Our curriculum is organized around the following goals that guide instruction and assessment for our students as movers, shakers, and connectors.

Instructional Approach

Picture a place where laughter echoes through every workout, where wellness is not a destination but a thrilling journey; jumping jacks are victories, and nutritional knowledge is power! We promote physical and health literacy. Through learning to move and moving to learn, students will build competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical and health activities within multiple environments that nurture the students' physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
