A Note From The Principal
PE Fun
The physical activity that our students enjoy, whether indoors or outdoors, is definitely a portion of our Mind, Body, Soul efforts we instill in our students. Obviously, Body is the main aspect in PE, but if you sit in a PE classroom even for a short period of time, you will realize all aspects of Mind, Body, Soul exist in how students need to think, move and socially engage in any activity.
Living in Christian community by instilling these values in our children is a commitment we take seriously and cherish as we watch our students grow into all that God is calling them to be.
