When students come into our gym, we want them to be physically active and have fun.
Our goal for our students in PE is to improve fitness and wellness by teaching a range of fitness activities along with incorporating the health aspect. We also want to encourage our students to participate in athletics when they enter middle school and high school, so we incorporate the introduction to some sports into our activities.
PE is a great place for students to learn social skills along with many character-building aspects like sharing, honesty, teamwork, cooperation, and fair play. We hope that when students leave Hickey they take the skills they have learned and use them for a lifetime.
