Dear Parents/Guardians,
The PJH Physical Education program is fitness
based and consists of individual as well as team
sports with the emphasis on sportsmanship,
physical fitness, and lifetime skills. Students are
encouraged to participate in all activities to the
best of their ability. Students at PJH have P.E. 44
minutes each day, 5 days a week.
The PJH fitness room is designed to meet the
needs of the jr. high student’s in their physical
education classes. The emphasis will be on
physical fitness, and lifetime skills. Students will
be able to use the equipment as part of the
curriculum. We will work on improving the
student’s cardiovascular and strength fitness
levels by utilizing various activities. The fitness
room has stationary bikes, elliptical, stair
climbers, treadmills, and over 10 resistance
stations for strength training to develop the
upper and lower body. The equipment is user
friendly, regardless of a students’ initial fitness
level.
The goal is to continue to give students the best
possible program by increasing the students
awareness, knowledge, and participation in
fitness and sports activities. This year we have
incorporated a P.E. handbook that the students
will be required to have with them during their
P.E. class.
