Happy Holiday from Nowlin Physical Education Department!

Another exciting week of physical education at Nowlin Elementary School this week.  All K-2nd grade students will be increasing their cardiovascular fitness and coordination skills by becoming familiar/improving their jumping skills with jump ropes.  The 3rd – 5th grade students will warm up with jump ropes and begin a tennis unit with the goals of becoming familiar how to grip the racquet, rules, safety precautions, tennis etiquette, and most importantly demonstrating good sportsmanship to others.
