Physical Education

Students kindergarten through eighth grade participate in gym twice per week throughout the school year. Every month we have different units that focus on sports and activities that ensure an increased heart rate. Students learn the basics of sports but also participate in individual drills, team drills, relay races, games that enforce sports skills, group activities and timed scrimmages. Students learn a variety of sports such as basketball, soccer, hockey, volleyball, and variations of football and baseball. Some different types of physical exercise that students engage in are Zumba, yoga, step aerobics, and circuit training. These activities are designed to give students a large range of activities all with unique and different health benefits. It is the goal and expectation at St. Luke School, that frequent physical education will promote a continuous interest in physical fitness throughout our students’ lifetime.
