Welcome to a new school year at Fifth Ward Prep. My Name is Desmond Stirgus, and I am thrilled to be your child’s health/physical education teacher. This will be my 3rd year teaching and working at the Prep.
Physical education is not just about exercise and sports; it is a vital component of a well-rounded education. It promotes physical fitness, teaches teamwork, builds character, enhances self-confidence, and provides opportunities for personal growth. I am committed to creating a positive and inclusive learning environment whereevery student can thrive and develop a lifelong love for physical activity.
Throughout the school year, your child will participate in a wide range of activities designed to develop their motor skills, coordination, strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. These activities may include team sports, individual sports, fitness challenges, and various cooperative games.
