“No matter how world-class we try to make our students in math and science, if we cannot keep them physically active and healthy, we are not really moving ahead.”
~So says the National Association of Sport and Physical Education.
At Delsea Middle School, we believe that a sound program in Health and Physical Education is vital to every child’s education. We know that Physical Education helps to improve the overall health of
children by:
- Improving cardiovascular endurance and flexibility
-
Improving muscular strength and power
-
Enhancing weight control
-
Enhancing bone development and posture
-

-
Encouraging active healthy habits and constructive use of leisure time
Physical Education helps improve self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, responsible behavior, and interdependence. Children who participate in
high quality daily Physical Education programs tend to be healthier and more physically fit. It is the unique role of a quality program to develop
The health-related fitness, physical competence, and cognitive understanding about physical activity for all students so that the students can adopt healthy and physically active lifestyles.
