The physical education program at Northwood Elementary stresses the importance of developing responsible, lifelong, healthy living habits while helping to enhance the social, physical, and emotional well-being of our students. Our students participate in a variety of sports activities including football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and putt-putt golf. These sports activities help develop skills needed to play the game as well as enhancing coordination levels.
Students also learn to abide by the rules of the games.
We participate in such fun activities as parachute play, large group games, and partner games. We take part in the President's Physical Fitness Test twice per year. At the conclusion of the second test, students can see the growth they have made. We stress the importance of understanding and showing good citizenship at all times.
