Welcome Back!!

Dear Davis Parents,

Mr. Jones, Mrs. Lawson, and Mrs. Georges are looking forward to another great school year. We are always looking for new ideas and ways to improve our Physical Education Program. Our program will include movement skills, rhythm, dance, games, and physical fitness, as well as traditional sports. We want to offer your child the best Physical Education possible.

We want to have a way to communicate with you better this year and have created a BLOG for Davis Physical Education. http://davisphysed.blogspot.com We will keep the site updated with current Health and Physical Education information for you and your children.

We expect all students to participate on a regular basis. We also expect students to wear athletic shoes for their safety. It is suggested that girls wear shorts under dresses on those days they wear a dress to Physical Education. Your child’s grade will be determined by his or her behavior and willingness to participate. The results of our fitness tests will not hurt your child’s grade in Physical Education. If your child is ill and unable to participate in P.E., please send a note. If your child has a serous illness or injury and cannot participate for an extended period of time, please send a doctor’s note.

The first two weeks of school, we will be collecting old athletic shoes for the NIKE Reuse-a-Shoe program. This recycling program takes the old shoes and grinds them up to make playground surfaces for underprivileged schools. For more information, check out www.nikereuseashoe.com. The shoes can’t have any metal in them. Please drop them off in the gym. Recycling is a small way to help our community, but everything we do can make a difference. We look forward to meeting new students and parents. We will continue to teach your children a variety of FUN fitness activities. We want your children to LOVE going to gym and expect a fabulous school year.

Sincerely,


Bryan Jones
