Athletics
With an emphasis on respect, good sportsmanship, and always trying their best, athletics are an integral component of our students’ well-being and emotional and physical development. Whether in our physical education classes, on the playground during recess, or in organized sports, we place a high value on making sure all our students are afforded the opportunity to participate and grow in this valuable arena.
