Physical Education

Are you ready?
Get set...
Go!

Nothing brings a smile to a child’s face faster than running and playing! And our two Physical Education teachers will quickly point out that there is a close correlation between physical movement and mental development.

Therefore, Rossman School arranges class schedules to allow each child time in physical education class every single day.

Whether in the well-equipped gymnasium, out of doors on the athletic field or running the four-lane track, physical fitness, good sportsmanship and the development of strong basic sports skills are the underlying goals for all the high-energy activities that feel like play.
