P.E. GRADE LEVEL ENRICHMENT - In addition to the P.E. program your child attends throughout the school year, The Foundation has added special P.E. enrichment specifically designed for their grade level. All P.E. Enrichment classes will take place during your child's normal P.E. rotation.  This program is partially funded by a $10 registration fee from the Wednesday Enrichment classes.  The remaining funds for the program are drawn from the Foundation's general fund.

• Kindergarten - The program will begin in Spring. Details coming to you soon.
• 1st Grade - Basketball is a 5 week program where the 1st graders will go to the YMCA and have a great time playing basketball with the supervision of the YMCA staff and Coach Sergio. The program starts Monday, February, 27 through March 26, for group one, and Thursday, March 1 through March 29, for group two.
• 2nd Grade - Golf - The program will begin in Spring. Details coming to you soon.
• 3rd Grade - Swimming - This is a 8-week program starting Thursday, April 19 where 3rd graders go to the YMCA to swim.  All students must pass a swimming test.  The program is supervised by a YMCA certified lifeguard. The program ends on May 31.
• 4th Grade - Tennis is a 4 week program at the YMCA starting Friday, October 14th and ends November 4.
• 5th Grade - Lacrosse - is a 4 week program starting Tuesday, October 11 and ends November 1.

WHY OUR FAMILIES, TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATION THINK P.E. IS IMPORTANT AND WORTH YOUR FOUNDATION DOLLARS - Numerous nationwide and international studies are showing that students who are physically fit are not only healthier but do better in school, have fewer disciplinary problems, and have a better attendance rate.
