Family and Physical Education Nights

Each grade performs a program of events they have learned through the year. Each grade has their own night and extra nights are set aside for family nights. The parents are then invited to participate with the children. Students are asked to teach their parents about the activities and when they want to the parents partake in the activities with their children. Some of the activities that we have done are:


  • Jump rope activities

  • Dances

  • Ball type activities

  • Circuit activities

  • Cooperative challenges

  • Multicultural events

  • Integrated activities

  • Creative problem solving

  • Activities involving the physically challenged

  • Awareness stations, etc.


This has been a wonderful way to showcase all aspects of our program.
