The Olympia High School P.E. classes have been going on strong for a whole semester with fun movement enticing activities like, bags, Frisbee golf, ping pong, and many other activities.
Olympia’s P.E. program has always been a good class that keeps students active the whole year. Students that participate in sports also appreciate the ability of being able to take strength and conditioning P.E. since it keeps student athletes in tip top shape.
As the year progressed, students and the teachers could see the progression in athletic abilities as they worked every day. With the help of the trained teachers, students said that the PE classes were always fun and always kept them active.
A few P.E. classes that previously were available for students, such water aerobics and outdoor-living, are not offered this year. Some students in this year's classes stated that they wouldn’t have minded if they could have taken those classes.
Olympia’s P.E. teacher, Mr. Gerry Thorton, said, “The health and wellness class gets the students their basic 60 or more minutes they need a day while keeping them entertained.” People who participate in the health/wellness class go to Health for 40 minutes, then to Wellness P.E. for 40 minutes.
Olympia’s P.E. teacher, Mr. Tim Thomas, said, “My students really enjoyed playing bags, horseshoes, Frisbee golf, ping pong, volleyball, and wiffle ball so they will definitely be provided to future classes.”
Aerobics is a new class has been presented to Olympia is taught by Olympia’s new P.E. teacher, Mrs. Hoffman. The aerobics class was taught by Mrs. Goff for a year before Mrs. Hoffman taught at Olympia. The students did enjoy the class and said it was a good learning experience.
Mrs. Hoffman is new to Olympia this year. As her first go around as an Olympia P.E. teacher, she very much enjoyed the first semester and cannot wait for future classes.
