Physical Education

  The physical education program provides a fun, energized, and exciting environment for kids to explore the world of movement, exercise and sport.   Activities are designed to challenge and involve all students regardless of ability.  Classes strive to improve fitness, motor function and self-image as well as teach an appreciation of physical activity for a lifetime of health.  There is a generous amount of equipment to provide experiences in team sports, individual sports, circus skills, stamnastics, and fitness. 

One of the programs we use to help kids stay in shape is the GIT FIT Walking Program:

• Git Fit is a walking program for elementary students in grades 2-4.  It is open to all students with parental permission.  The kids walk a 1/5 mile course around the outside of the Hill School soccer field during morning and lunch recess.  Walkers are logged and given small awards for reaching different milestones.  The program is designed to give kids a fun and healthy alternative to traditional recess activities.  Walking has been found to reduce many of the risk factors associated with heart disease, help control body weight and increase mental well-being.  The program is a great way to get your kids active.
