I want to share with you some of the philosophy and goals of Physical Education at Coon Rapids-Bayard Community School District.
Personal Fitness is a major emphasis due to a national problem with escalating obesity, health problems due to poor decision-making, and decreasing levels of physical fitness. A QUALITY PHYSICAL EDUCATION/Health PROGRAM IS YOUR CHILD'S BEST HEALTH INSURANCE. Our P.E./health program is structured, dynamic, energetic, and vigorous!
9-12th grade students will be tested on Physical Fitness development in the fall and spring through a Physical Fitness Testing Program which is a combination test for upper, lower, and abdominal strength. We also test the student's Body Mass by using the Body Mass index(BMI).
During the school year your child will also receive instruction in health areas such as: nutrition, exercise and fitness, and body systems. It is a goal of the Physical Education program to prepare children to make healthy lifestyle choices and enjoy being physically active.
We are enjoying a great school year in Physical Education and Health! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch with me at school by phone (712-999-2208) or e-mail at [email protected]
