Akers Elementary

   "Home of the Eagles"

Physical Education classes: 6th - 8th Grade
All co-ed physical education classes begin with a warm-up run and stretching routine. Next, students participate in various drills that will allow students to be successful in the current activity. Modified games will be played as a lead-up to the actual activity. There will be a test at the end of each activity. I try to give my students a wide variety of activities. Good sportsmanship, safety, and positive attitude are stressed on a daily bases.

Akers P.E. classes provide a safe environment where all students, no matter their athletic ability, feel free to participate without embarrassment.
My goal is for all students to be successful and to have fun.

Elks National Free Throw “Hoop Shoot” contest:
Starting in the 1st Trimester we will be having a free throw shooting contest. The contest will go for about 3 months. The winners (boys and girls ages 10-13) will compete in the Elks National Free Throw “Hoop Shoot” contest held in December. There are 4 competitions: In order (District, State, Regional, and National). Akers has had one student go to the National Competition.
