During their Physical Education class students in 7th grade will learn a number of skills, and sports aligned with the California State Standards for Physical Education.
As we begin the school year, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I have earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology from Long Beach State University. This will be my fifteenth year as a proud teacher of Culver City Middle School, I have also worked as the athletic director for our after school program. I am eager to start this school year with several exciting activities and lessons. The 7th grade curriculum will include: Team Sports, Fitness, Skill Development, Teamwork, Cooperative Games, Rhythmic Activities and more.
My personal goal is for each student to enjoy physical activity, giving forth their best effort, and acquiring a lifelong love of physical and recreational activity while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I look forward to meeting each of you, and to a great and exciting school year!

If students are not dressed out in their PE uniform, which includes proper shoes, they will receive a non-dress. 2 or more non-dresses per quarter will result in a N or “needs improvement” and 3 or more will result in a U or “unsatisfactory” in work habits for that grading period.
