Physical Education (PE)
At Green Lake, our physical education program stresses cooperation, teamwork, positive attitude, and allows all students to succeed.
Green Lake School provides 150 minutes of PE for Kindergartners each week. For First through Fifth grades, Students alternate between 60 minutes one week and 90 minutes the next week.
Our teachers design units to incorporate all learners and build curriculum to include basketball and soccer, as well as dance and gymnastics.
- Get kids in shape -- make fitness fun!
- Inspire families to exercise together
- Teach swimming and lifesaving water skills to every child
