Physical Education is an integral part of a well-rounded curriculum program. The Copiague School District provides its students with a program that helps to develop skills such as balance, coordination, and good sportsmanship, and enhances their physical, mental, and emotional health.
Recently, students at Susan E. Wiley Elementary School had the opportunity to showcase what they learn in physical education class to their parents though two nights of activities for Mothers/Important Female Figures and Sons and Fathers/Important Male Figures and Daughters. During the two nights, the fourth and fifth-grade students put their adult partners to the test by challenging them in games that tested their tactical skills, speed, coordination, and endurance.
Organized by physical education teachers Nicholas Crowe and Wendy Hrzich, each student was presented with a tee-shirt provided by the PTA and a jump rope to continue their exercise at home. Members of the high school football team and Varsity Club, as well as the middle school Double Dutch team, volunteered their time, along with numerous SEW staff members. The student-volunteers were also provided with tee-shirts, which were purchased by Mr. Crowe.
