M.E.S.M.S. Physical Education
WHY IS PHYSICAL EDUCATION SO IMPORTANT?
Physical education is a necessity for the health and well-being of every student. It is a unique and essential part of the total education program which can significantly enhance all aspects of development including health, academic performance, stress management, physical fitness, movement knowledge, goal setting, self-esteem, and social skills.
Many children participate in extra-curricular activities that may meet the movement and exercise needs during their season of competition, but such programs do not accommodate all students nor do they educate the students as would a daily physical education program. Physical Education instruction provided in schools is an efficient way to acquire and establish patterns of positive healthy-related behavior. We believe that physical education is an integral part of a comprehensive education and must be included on a regular basis.
