Stephanie Hagee, PE Teacher MAKING FITNESS FUN TOGETHER! Shawn Holt, PE Teacher

We are Middle Road Strong!  This school year may look a little different but we will continue to work together for the Health of it!  Be sure to scroll down this webpage for Fitness and Nutritional information posted just for you from Mrs. Hagee and Mrs. Holt! Feel free to contact us as we work together to stay fit and practice good nutritional habits.

Throughout the course of the year, students will develop positive social skills while they perform various motor skills and identify basic anatomical body parts utilized in the activities and games.  Students will describe how to incorporate fitness in their daily activities and explain the importance of providing the body with energy through good nutrition.

Overall wellness is important to all and at all stages in ones’ life thus the importance of establishing active lifestyles and healthy behaviors, within the elementary grade levels, is where healthy habits begin. Teaching students to enjoy various movements, as they participate in a variety of activities tailored to developing important motor skills, is the foundation crucial to a healthy lifestyle.

Do the exercises that spell your name.  Get your family to join in the fun.  There are so many ways to use this activity.   Try this big challenge, see if you can go through the entire alphabet in one day.  You do not have to do it all at one time, spread the letters and their assigned exercises to be done throughout the day. 

Exercise and eating healthy are both important to taking good care of our bodies.  Middle Road's PE department has provided students with several worksheets to help them understand what kinds of foods are important to eat to help keep our bodies fueled. Is is always a great time for students to work through the nutritional worksheets and learn about the MyPlate and gain some understanding into what healthy eating is all about.  Also, be sure to check out our videos to help you learn more about the MyPlate as we give you some simple to make healthy snacks.

Soaring to Healthy Minds and Bodies...

ALWAYS on the MOVE ~ It's What We DO ~ It's Good for Me & Good for You!

 The Feet Meet ~ 
We look forward to the Feet Meet  being held in the Spring of 2024.  Students will be selected to represent Walton Elementary School at this county-wide event.  The Feet Meet brings together the Prince George County Public Schools' special needs students and provides them an opportunity to participate and engage with other special needs students in a training like setting for the Special Olympic events.  Students without disabilities participate alongside students with special needs as well as acting as facilitators and fans for the meet.  It is our hopes that both students with and without special needs form friendships that will have a positive impact on the relationships all our students have with each other.  What an awesome opportunity to work together in promoting physical activity, new friendships, teamwork and leadership with our students!
