A letter from the P.E. Department
September 17, 2007
P.E. 
Dear Parents,
Welcome to another school year! Varieties of enjoyable and
educational activities have been planned for your child this year.
Children enjoy P.E. better when it is fun, safe, challenging,
adventurous and non-threatening for all. We have created a
respectful learning environment where all students have the
opportunity to learn, grow, and establish healthy habits for a
lifetime of fitness activity.
Our goal this year is to create a true home-school connection.
We believe that communication between home and school is very
important and by all of us working together, we can make this a
very successful year. It is important that you are an active part
of your child's education, and we invite you to phone or visit our
classroom at anytime.
It is important parents be supportive of good classroom behavior
so their child has a good environment for maximum learning. Please
talk with your child about how important it is for him/her to do
their best, respect and cooperate with others, and follow
directions, in their physical education class.
We will be participating in a variety of different activities
this year at BGS. These include problem solving, cooperative
learning, adventure education, rhythm/dance, fitness and wellness,
first aid and safety, and CPR. We will also be doing our
traditional units that include volleyball, basketball, softball,
soccer, gymnastics, bowling, ropes, etc….
The following is a list of dates for our fitness activities. These dates are subject to change. Parents are welcome to attend many of the scheduled activities and volunteers are also needed. Thank you again for your support.
