Miss Sarah Taylor

The elementary school physical education facilitator is Miss Sarah Taylor, who also teaches first grade half time.  She focuses on general physical fitness and wellness, and emphasizes sportsmanship.  The school also has a wellness committee that studies and makes recommendations concerning wellness issues.  For instance, last year, the committee came up with guidelines for class parties, urging parents choose healthy treats for birthdays and class parties.  The committee also made sweeping changes in our vending machines, eliminating most soda and adding water and some sports drinks, and replacing the candy in the machines with healthier choices such as pretzels and whole wheat crackers.

Mr. Phil Wenndt

At the junior high level, Mr. Phil Wenndt teaches physical education.  He engages the students in a number of fun outings including a biking unit, sledding, spelunking, and sports.
