The Physical Education Department is a very important part of life at Petoskey Middle School. The Physical Education program teaches students valuable lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, and positive attitude as well as many other life long skills. Many recent studies report that obesity is becoming a national epidemic for students and is steadily rising--with that in mind our program continues to stress cardiovascular fitness, strength, endurance, and flexibility levels among our students.
What can parents do to help? Quality physical education instruction requires a working partnership between parents and educators. Good communication supports the goal of providing quality learning experiences for our children. To help in this goal, you can:
 |
advocate for quality physical education
instruction and programs in our schools |
|
support and encourage your child's
participation in appropriate, enjoyable physical activities in and out of
school |
|
be a physically active role model for your child and participate in family activities that include physical education |
The physical education instructors at Petoskey Middle School are Mr. Shawn Racignol and Mrs. Terry Wright. Please feel free to contact them with any questions or concerns you may have regarding our programs!
