 Physical Education
Instructor: Mrs. Kathy Pattak
Physical Education should provide equal opportunity for students to create, learn, enjoy and participate in skill development through a variety of physical activities that have lifelong value. These activities should be designed to contribute to good physical, mental,social, and emotional health.
Phys Ed Grant Info
This school year all Mt. Lebanon elementary schools have been individually awarded a Highmark Healthy High 5 School Challenge grant of $7,278 aimed to address the growing issues of fitness and healthy living. Studies illustrate that the health habits children develop at a young age will continue with them through adulthood and the grant will support our schools’ efforts in introducing programs that will ultimately create healthier, more successful students.
All elementary schools, grades 1-5, will use the grant to implement different fitness tools to support a wellness awareness program. Dance Dance Revolution, heart rate monitors, pedometers, and Fruits and Vegetables Five nutrition program are all part of the grant.

Sports Stacking
 
 
Sportstacking is the latest activity to become the face of the “new Physical Education “. Students in grades 1-5 learn how to do a variety of patterns of upstacking and downstacking as fast as possible. This year watch for our district wide elementary sportstacking event.
AFTER SCHOOL SPORTS
  
  
 
After school sports is a program of elementary intramurals held after school for students in grades 4 and 5. It is designed to include a variety of activities without the competition and stress of a highly structured program. As in physical education class, the emphasis is on skill development, good sportsmanship, having fun and team play where appropriate. The students have the opportunity to learn new activities and then decide whether their classmates might enjoy it. They are then able to help teach the new game during physical education class. The fifth graders also have the opportunity to create their own games and then teach it to the others.
