PURPOSE: IMPLEMENT SWIMMING AS A LIFETIME ACTIVITY AND PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE PERSONAL FITNESS LEVELS.

GOALS:

1.Increase percentage of students participating in physical education

2.Increase percentage of students who make progress toward meeting state standards in physical education

It is recommend that children engage in 30 to 60 accumulated minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day - We will strive to enhance existing PE programs by providing more opportunities for individualized fitness activities. We are committed to increasing physical awareness and fitness for all students and to align the PE programs to State Standards

Wyoming State PE Standards

1. Movement – Students will demonstrate competency in movement forms and apply movement concepts and principles to the learning and development of individual and lifetime activities. - Physical activity programs will assist students in developing appropriate rhythms, dance, individual sports and lifetime activities.

2. Fitness – Students will participate in a variety of physical activities that will enhance health related physical fitness. - Activities that meet State Standards #2 include dance, aerobics, archery, golf, snowboarding, roller skating, skiing, ice skating, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, tennis, table tennis, badminton, bowling, Frisbee golf, yoga, snorkeling, sledding, fitness training, ropes courses, horseback riding, weight lifting, mountain biking, wrestling, racquetball, pickelball, dodgeball, gymnastics, track and field, kickboxing, water aerobics, croquet, water polo, canoeing, white water rafting, etc.

3. Personal and Social Behaviors – Students will demonstrate personal and social responsibility, understand the benefits of physical activity and respect diversity among people in physical activity setting. – Students lack social competence and are frequently engaged in violent, destructive behaviors. Unless they are involved in competitive sports, there are few opportunities for students to engage in healthy, physical fitness activities. Physical fitness has been linked to improved academic achievement, decreased juvenile delinquency and increased graduation rates. Our project will provide opportunities for our students to participate in activities that promote social competence, fair play, leadership skills, and improve self-esteem. By achieving self-confidence and improving self-esteem we believe this will increase student bonding to the school and impact achievement and behavior .
