​​Physical Education ​​Greetings from your PE department. Finding time to be active every day should be more manageable for most of us. In fact, this is a good time for you to set some personal goals and to make your own physical fitness a priority. This will look different for each of you, depending on your goals and interests. We will try to give you some ideas each week to try, but find what works for you, and most importantly, make sure you are moving every day! Whenever possible, encourage your family members to be active with you, and have fun. 

Here is the May/June calendar of events. Try to get out a few times this week and increase either how long you walk/jog for or how far you travel within a set amount of time.
