Physical Activity

Students attend physical education classes once a week with Mr. Hiltz.

Each classroom teacher also engages students in exercise through the Move to Improve (OPEN EXTERNAL LINK) program. Students engage in outdoor recess daily and we have after-school dance, soccer and tennis programs. 

We also recognize Wellness Wednesday with mini lessons and activities for both students and staff, with topics ranging from healthy eating to meditation.

In 2025 - 2026, ten classes participated in nutrition Education classes included hands-on food prep activities and students also did food tastings of our lunch menu and provided feedback to our cafeteria staff and the Office of Food & Nutrition Services.
