Jennifer Upton, PE Teacher

Physical Education is provided two times a week for all the students at Holy Trinity. It is a planned program of personal movement experiences that both develop the body and foster intellectual and creative growth in harmony with the goals of Christian education. The focus of the PE curriculum is motor skill development, health fitness, play, and physical movement concepts. The following units are covered in the PE curriculum but are modified according to the specified age groups and developmental levels.

Spatial awareness loco motor movement and skills target games

tag games active games throwing/catching rolling/kicking

track and field movement patters soccer evasive games

manipulative skills creative dance tumbling jump rope

heart unit hiking wilderness safety bicycle safety

basketball scooter hockey wiffleball juggling

Please make sure they are dressed appropriately on the days they have PE. Both socks and tennis shoes are very important, without them they run the risk of having blisters or muscle soreness due to improper support. No open-toed sandals or boots of any kind. Some students change into their tennis shoes right before PE. Students with inappropriate attire will receive a marker.

Rain or shine, we will have PE as scheduled. During the warmer months we will be outside. Plenty of water and frequent breaks will be provided for the students on hotter days. When it rains we will have PE inside. During the cooler months we may still be outside, so be sure your child has the proper clothing for them as well (ie: sweats, jackets, etc.)

"Do you know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?

"Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I buffet my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

I Corinthians 9:24-27
