Dear Parents:                                                                                                                                                                                 August 20, 2007

As this school year begins, I would like to remind you about the importance of your child’s physical activity education. Physical education in school programs is the cornerstone of an active lifestyle for all students. School programs provide the skills, knowledge and attitudes that facilitate choosing physical activity after school, at home, and in the community. As your child’s physical education teacher, I pledge to:

~Establish a positive, safe learning environment for all students
~Teach a variety of physical activities that make physical education class fun and enjoyable
~Create maximum opportunities for students of all abilities to be successful
~Promote student honesty, integrity and good sportsmanship
~Guide students into becoming skillful and confident movers
~Facilitate the development and maintenance of physical fitness
~Assist students in setting and achieving personal goals
~Provide specific, constructive feedback to help students master motor skills
~Afford opportunities for students to succeed in cooperative and competitive situations
~Prepare and encourage students to practice skills and be active for a lifetime

This school year I would like to invite you to visit our physical education class online at
www.oocities.org/powellphysed. On this site you will find class rules, weekly lesson plans, the purpose of physical education, upcoming events, and much more. 
My goal is for your children to participate in developmentally appropriate activities that will help increase their physical competence, self-esteem and joy of being physically active no matter what their physical abilities may be. By enhancing your children’s physical activity education, I am certain we will be able to help your children enjoy a lifetime of physical activity and good health. I welcome your support!

Looking forward to a great year~
