Syllabus Signature Page

Success in physical education stems from the teacher and with a directed focus a teacher can engage students. Students need enthusiasm as well as a good role model to follow. The more we can connect with our students the better we are and the better the students are at retaining all the information we are presenting.

My goal is to increase their life expectancy, aim to adapt positive lifestyle behaviors, and to overall increase their desire to live a healthy life. A parent-teacher and teacher-student relationship are vital for the overall success of the student. Please feel free to contact me at any time in order to best serve your child.
