Welcome to SomersMiddle School Physical Education Program. Our Program is an integral and required part of the total educational experience. Our program is student-centered and focuses on participation in physical activity. Although physical activity is the centerpiece, other unique and worthy objectives are attained through a well planned program. It also offers a variety of activities and experiences. We take the pleasure in teaching sport and movement skills, integrating the concept of health and wellness, fair play, teamwork, personal living skills, thereby nurturing a healthy and active lifestyle.
All students in grades 9-12 are required to participate in Physical Education and earn a total of 2 credits. Students develop an increased level of fitness, acquire skills commensurate with individual abilities and potential, and experience new activities to apply during leisure time. Through their involvement, students will hopefully learn to accept and appreciate individual differences, meet and overcome personal challenges and improve levels of confidence and ability.
