    Hi! I'm Coach Keirsey and I am so excited for another year of P.E.!

    I love kids, sports and exercise so my job is perfect for me!  This is my 25th year to teach/coach!

    Some things I enjoy are spending time with my family, attending church, playing volleyball and flag football, and watching movies.

     Let's have a great year learning how to be healthy and stay healthy!!

    Welcome to Physical Education

    Focusing on wellness, exercise, games and lifetime sports,

    students can learn new and fun ways to stay physically fit.

    General P.E. Info

    Be Prepared!

    All students must wear appropriate clothing and RUNNING SHOES for class. Students wearing the wrong shoes or clothing that restricts movement or a dress with no shorts on underneath may have an alternate activity to do during class. They will also lose points on their report card grade. 

    Fitnessgram

    This is a state mandated health fitness test for grades 3rd-5th. This test helps determine the student’s fitness levels based on what is optimal for good health. The test will measure aerobic endurance, flexibility, and muscle strength.  Results will be sent home at the end of the test.  

    Injured/Sick?

    If your child is injured or sick, please send a note explaining what they can and can’t do. Thank you for your help to keep your child safe and well.
