WelcomeThis is the homepage for our Physical Education Website at Brighten Academy Charter school. Our goal at Brighten Academy is to teach our students the necessary skills to live active healthy lifestyles. We teach our students a variety of motor skills and sport skills along with a component of health and fitness that will allow our students to be successful at maintaining a level of physical fitness. Most importantly we teach many life skills in Physical Education that will provide for our students the opportunity to excel in real world situations. These life skills include sportsmanship, teamwork, work ethic, responsibility, and accountability. Ultimately our students learn what it means to demonstrate Character.
"Ability may take you to the top, but it takes Character to keep you there." -John Wooden Curriculum
What Students Will Need |
Elementary: Students will need to wear proper tennis shoes that abide by our school dress code every day they have PE. Students are welcome to bring their own water bottle with their name on it. We have a designated area that we place the water bottles during class. Middle school: Students in 6th – 8th Grade will be dressing out for PE. Below is what they will need: • Navy Blue Athletic Shorts (no shorter than 2 inches above knee) or Navy Blue Athletic Pants. • Gray T-shirt (Plain-No graphics or writing). Students may also wear Brighten Spirit Day T-shirts if they have one. • Tennis Shoes (they must abide by the same dress code as in their other classes- shoes must be predominately white, navy blue, black, gray, or brown). It is recommended that students have a small gym bag to carry their PE clothes in. We have lockers that students can use while they are in class, however students cannot leave their stuff in lockers overnight. |
