Physical Education Class

There are so many positive things happening at PMS in regards to living happy, healthy lives! Let me tell you about them:

• Every morning we are dancing as a whole school in order to increase our heart rate and start the morning off on a healthy note.

• We are only serving 100% juice, 1% milk, and water to our students. This is to decrease the amount of sugar intake.

• The students are running ¼ mile every day at recess in order to increase their muscular endurance and in hopes that they can increase their CT Fitness Test scores.

• The classrooms are having periodic fitness breaks in order to keep the students fresh and ready to learn.

• We have incorporated a Staff Wellness Program that meets twice each week to exercise. The staff at PMS believes strongly in keeping their students healthy but also in keeping themselves healthy as well.

• We have implemented a Monthly Exercise Calendar, that you can find on our homepage, in hopes that ALL children will incorporate physical activity into their daily lives at home.

• All P.E. classes involve fitness in order to increase muscular strength and endurance as well as flexibility and cardiovascular endurance.
