Welcome to Physical Education and Health!

What’s going on in P.E.?

The goal of physical education is to allow all students to develop the knowledge and skills to manage regular, lifelong physical activity to help ensure a healthy and productive life.  Notre Dame School Physical Education offers an age appropriate curriculum that bolsters an understanding of a variety of activities that emphasize knowledge, competence, fitness, cooperation and skill development.  Physical education involves the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of your child.  A Latin phrase says it best, "Sana mens in corpora sano", which means a sane mind and a healthy body.  Please encourage your child to be active everyday!
