Dixson Physical Education

The Carl L. Dixson School's physical education program is designed to engage students in activities promoting physical fitness, motor skill development, and a healthy lifestyle. Students in grades K and 1 attend class twice a week. Each class is 40 minutes, where they participate in age-appropriate exercises and games that improve coordination, strength, and teamwork. The program emphasizes cognitive learning and physical activity,helping students develop the knowledge and behaviors needed for lifelong fitness. To ensure safety, students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and sneakers, and safety is always a top priority during all activities

A special highlight of the program is Fitness Friday, a school-wide event. Each Fitness Friday features a different fitness theme, encouraging students, teachers, and staff to come together and participate in fun, themed activities that promote physical well-being. These days, students are asked to wear the school's colors to show school spirit and unity. The physical education program helps students build healthy habits, develop physical literacy, and foster a love for movement in a supportive and energetic environment through these events and regular class activities.
