The Buffalo Creek Health Fitness class is truly a celebration of learning!! Through cooperative play, games, and fitness related activities, students learn and apply knowledge and skills from all content areas in a school's curriculum. We design our lessons where the emphasis is placed on cooperation and good sportsmanship rather than competition and sports. Students can grow emotionally, socially, and physically in a non-threatening environment and leave with a positive self-esteem and sense of well being. A healthy, physically active student is more likely to be academically motivated, alert, and successful. Our class provides opportunities to develop the whole child, both mind and body.
We are very excited about our partnership with the Clay Road YMCA. Through their hard work and generosity, all of our first and second graders have been participating in swim lessons and water safety classes.
