1 I. Our Mission. 1 Dear student, welcome to SAA s PE program, where we believe that physical education is a vital component for the development of your physical, mental and social well-being. In our classes, you will thrive and succeed regardless of your previous experiences with physical activities or sports. We hope that while enrolled in this course, you are able to gain/improve a positive attitude and good health habits, develop values such as teamwork, leadership, tolerance & sportsmanship, and also experience the strong connection between a healthy, physically active lifestyle and your own spiritual growth and journey. It is our aim to portray a Christ-centered view of athletics as the allencompassing theme of each experience. We hope that at the conclusion of this course, such values will be instilled in your heart and continue to influence your habits throughout your entire life! II. III. Daily procedures. Each Student will 1. show up on time for prayer & warm-ups 2. be ready to participate 3. wear the school- specified attire 4. help in the set up and clean up of all materials utilized Rules and Expectations (yes, your grade is attached to these!) a.
