Physical Education is a required academic subject that teaches participation in lifelong, health enhancing physical activity. In PE, students learn to work as a team, develop healthy personal fitness habits and set fitness goals now and throughout their lives. 

Required:  PE uniform - shorts, sweatpants and St. Aidan t- shirt and sneakers.
if a child is not properly dressed for PE, they will sit out of class.

For students own safety when coming to PE the expectation is that students are wearing appropriate shoes as it is essential for physical activity. Athletic tennis shoes are built to provide support to your foot and ankle during physical activity, and as a result they help reduce the risk of fractures and sprains while active. We sometimes see leg, ankle and foot injuries that could have been prevented if proper athletic footwear had been worn. Please understand that the necessity of wearing proper shoes is 100% instruction and safety driven.

Running shoes, basketball shoes, cross training shoes, and tennis shoes are ideal in a physical education setting. 

What an ideal PE shoe looks like:
 - Shoe fits the foot, not slipping out
-  Shoe has a back - the heel is not exposed
-  Appopriate bottom where running will not hurt the foot.
-  Non-slip bottom 
-  Supports ankle

March - Fairness

• Do what is right to make sure that others are not treated badly.
•  Sometimes fairness means equal, but fairness does not always mean the same.
•  Play by the rules.
