This past March, physical education teachers at the district’s four elementary schools – Deauville Gardens East, Deauville Gardens West, Great Neck Road and Susan E. Wiley – hosted individual family nights related to the physical education curriculum. The annual Spotlight on Fitness nights give the kindergarten through fifth-grade students an opportunity to highlight what they have been learning in class, and in some cases, invite their parents and families to participate in the activities.
Physical education classes help students develop skills such as balance, coordination and good sportsmanship and enhance their physical, mental and emotional health.
The physical education teachers who coordinated the events are Wendy Hrzich, Barbara Olsen and John Sack (Deauville Gardens East and West); William Bennett and Rachel Cone (Great Neck Road); and Pam Atlas and Anthony Cipriano (Susan E. Wiley).
