KINDERGARTEN-8TH GRADE
  Wow—this school year has truly flown by, and I couldn’t be prouder of our Elementary and Middle School P.E. students! Throughout the year, we’ve focused on learning new games, developing new skills, working as a team, and showing strong support and sportsmanship toward one another. It’s been incredible to see how much each student has grown in so many different ways.
   Our recently concluded Field Day was a perfect celebration of that growth—showcasing not only the amazing effort and performance during games, but also the enthusiasm and encouragement students showed for their Neighborhood Groups and teams. Their energy, teamwork, and spirit were inspiring to watch!

6TH GRADE-HIGH SCHOOL
   High School and Middle School Physical Education focused on physical development, skill development, personal responsibility, and social skills throughout the year. Students improved coordination and body control during sports activities, basic techniques using proper footwork and hand-eye coordination, core fitness components, strength, endurance, flexibility, speed, and agility. They demonstrated proficiency in movement skills such as throwing, striking, and jumping. Athletes also took responsibility for personal safety, equipment use, strategy tactics, and independent decision making. Students learned social skills working cooperatively with classmates regardless of skill level, sportsmanship, inclusion, fairness, and respect. In Health, they also learned about nutrition, injury prevention, mental awareness, and stress management.

ELEMENTARY & MIDDLE SCHOOL
Our Elementary and Middle School classes have been doing amazing in PhysEd this Fall! We have participated in various types of circuit training, tag and dodgeball games to work on agility, timing, hand-eye coordination, flexibility, and critical thinking. Other games such as kickball, soccer, human bowling, and scooter relays stretch our spatial learning, proprioception (body/sensory awareness), full body coordination, and teamwork skills. We are seeing lots of great teamwork, sharing, respecting others and ourselves, as well as being kind to our friends. It's been incredible seeing the progress everyone is making, especially our Lower and Middle Elementary classes!

MIDDLE SCHOOL & HIGH SCHOOL
Our Middle and High school students are doing very well in the first quarter of school. The students have participated in a number of activities including dodgeball, cart bowling, frisbee, line tag, circuit training, obstacle course, soccer, kickball, stretching, and running exercises. This will develop students cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. While building relationships and teamwork, the physical development they are focusing on now transfers over to help them perform a wide range of activities promoting healthy lifestyles.
Also this quarter, the Stanbridge soccer team recently won their first game of the BASSAL season. Their next game is at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, October 25th, at San Mateo's MLK park. Family and friends are welcome to stop by and help cheer the team to victory!
