Our school is an International Baccalaureate World School. 32 languages spoken, cultural diversity from all over the world, and technology is a common language that all students can understand. Even though we are an IB school, we are also 75% free and reduced school. Meaning many of our students do not get technology opportunities outside of school. My students are ambitious. They love to move in a variety of activities. They come to class ready to go, ready to learn through movement. We do not just roll out the ball. Students come to learn in Physical Education. We do not teach games to play games. We teach games to be active for a lifetime. We teach fitness for quality of life. We teach students to become fit and healthy.
