PHYSICAL EDUCATION NEWS

The activities offered by the Physical Education Department for the Fall/Winter include: Soccer, Speedball, Flag Football, Dance, Physical Fitness, Weightlifting, Rock Climbing and Volleyball. Activities will be held outdoors as long as the weather permits. Students are encouraged to bring sweatpants and sweatshirts along with their gym clothes while we are outside.

The grading policies of the Physical Education Department are as follows.

We look to see that our students:

• Are regularly present for class and dressed for activity
• Display a cooperative attitude and sportsmanship toward instructors and classmates
• Are fully involved in each class, putting forth maximum effort
• Score well in any written or skill test
• Have an awareness of game strategies and fitness concepts

The Physical Education Department has acquired a climbing wall. Contributions from the Western Hills Parent Advisory Board, Mr. Nero and Dr. Cardoza, (Health/P.E. Coordinator), helped make the wall a reality. Students had some access to this activity at the end of last year but will enjoy the full rock climbing curriculum beginning in November.

Parent/Student recreation nights are in the planning stages. Please refer back to our web site for details.
