Program Description

Our programs emphasize regular participation in a variety of enjoyable physical activities that promote lifelong healthy active living. Students will learn movement skills and principles, ways to improve personal fitness and physical competence, and safety and injury prevention. They will investigate issues related to healthy sexuality and the use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Students will examine issues related to healthy eating, substance use and abuse, and the use of informed decision making and conflict resolution. They will also participate in activities designed to develop goal setting, communication, and social skills.
