Where the FUN begins!
 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. Psalms 18:32-33 | St. Mark's physical education program is a vital and integral part of the total Catholic Education Experience. It is designed to develop the “whole” child. It provides a balance in all aspects of education. The curriculum provides for the optimal physical, intellectual, social, spiritual and emotional development of each student. The emphasis is on having FUN while moving to promote a life-long love of movement, exercise, love of self and the pursuit of health and fitness! Character counts plus sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation, and acceptance—is taught with hands-on, practical applications. Games are developmentally and grade level appropriate. Non-Traditional variations of traditional sporting activities are included to encourage participation instead of "winning". Lessons progress developmentally from: simple to more complex activities; individual to partner to small groups from non-competitive to more competitive; from activities that require little skill to more challenging activities.
