Physical Fitness is a Murch Priority
Athletic activities complement the academic curriculum by teaching important skills such as teamwork and perseverance. The P.E. curriculum emphasizes discipline, sportsmanship, and cooperation. Students explore movement and learn skills for lifelong participation in physical activity. Younger students focus on improved motor skills, coordination, and the pure fun of movement. Older students enjoy the challenges of team work, skill-building, and personal accomplishment.
