WELCOME.

Healthy life=happiness..
Jamie and I are both P.E. teachers, we love physical activity, and we both believe P.E. is the most important subject in school.  Now, don't get us wrong, we both think that the classroom subjects of math, reading, science, history etc. are very important, and you need to do well in those subjects to get good grades, but if you do not take P.E. seriously and you do not partake in physical activity, than the question is how healthy are you...P.E. is the subject that teaches you how to live a healthy, happy life not just for today, but tomorrow too.  The things you learn in P.E class are ideas that you should carry on for the rest of your life so that you can stay healthy.  If you are not healthy when you are older than it is going to be awful hard to be happy.  Taking care of your body and getting proper exercise is the most important thing you can do to make sure you can live a long happy life. 

We've made an exercise chart for you to download so you can keep track of the excercises you do.
-in addition to at least a half hour of exercise every day make sure you eat properly, follow thefood chart, it is important to eat all the necessary fruits and vegetables so that you can get the necessary vitamans and minerals....
 
 
-instead of sitting on the couch watching the same episodes of the same tv show over and over again go outside and find a few friends and come up with a game.  Combine you and your friends favorite sports, or games and make it into your very own game with its very own name, you and your friends can come up with rules and guidelines to follow so that it is easy to understand. 
 
-build up- if you start exercising at a young age and build more time on jogging every month, than you can really become healthier as you get older.  Start a jog log,  that means right a time (minute wise) of how long you want to run week, run that given time for a week and then build up to add 15 seconds a week, your body will get stronger, your mind will get sharper and your heart will become much healthier.  By the time you reach the age of an adult and you keep up with your build up jog, you will be in the best shape of your life, and when you and your family are healthy, that makes everyone happy.

OUR MISSION:  To give students the opportunities and experiences that leads to the achievement of total-wellness and in turn, a longer and healthier life!
 
Be a Fit Kid!
Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity (exercise), and has a healthy weight. If you're fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like run around with your friends.
