Physical Education Specialists engage students in skill-based activities, games, and sports that foster a love of physical movement. Students learn about the positive impact of physical activity on their health while fostering character development, compassion, and teamwork. Specialists keep students active and enhance each of our schools with their presence and impact on student well-being.

This is the last week of the Fall Campaign! Please support your child’s physical education program and the other STEAM+ classes by donating today at DMSEF.org.
