Landrum Middle School Physical Education

Landrum Middle School Physical Education

Our goal in Physical Education is to have each student participate and give his or her personal best in each activity/skill taught. We will accomplish this by emphasizing the importance of play and lifetime skills such as sportsmanship and etiquette, knowledge of rules, skill enhancement, teamwork and cooperation with others during their Physical Education class time. We consider it essential to teach healthy lifestyles by emphasizing the value of physical activity and healthy nutrition choices that will last a lifetime. We believe the students will build character, confidence and positive self esteem.
