PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Physical Education classes

are held once a week for PreK-3

and twice a week for grades PreK-4 through 8.  The fundamental goal of this program

is to provide children with the essential skills, attitudes and knowledge necessary for each child to enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.  Students will also acquire knowledge and skills that will assist in their participation

in team sports and be able to attain

a sense of good sportsmanship.

ART

Through the use of various art mediums

and techniques students in grades

Pre K-3 through 8 are encouraged to explore, create and express themselves

in a positive manner. 

With a focus on the elements and principles

of art each age-appropriate lesson

is presented through an introduction and demonstration followed by a hands-on activity.  Through observation and discussion

of well-known artists and their works

students are able to grasp the importance

of art history and art production.  Interdisciplinary lessons enable students

to connect art not only with history

but also science, religion and math. 

Art is an enjoyable class that allows students

to learn and create personal masterpieces

using various mediums

such as paint, pencils, pastels and clay.
