Physical Education with Coach Daspit and Assistant Dustin Helmkamp Coach Matt Daspit and his assistant Dustin Helmkamp work with students twice a week in their physical education classes. Coach Daspit stresses the importance of overall good health through exercise and nutrition. In class, students are encouraged to stay active by participating in fun activities that also promote teamwork and good sportsmanship. The key components of Daspit's fitness program are muscular strength, aerobic capacity, and flexibility. Kindergarten thru 2nd grade focus on locomotor skills such as walking, running, skipping, throwing, and catching. While 3rd grade thru 5th grade students perform more advanced skills that often involve team sports or group activities. This year the 5th grade boys and girls will have the opportunity to play on intramural team sports before school, such as touch football and basketball. Last spring, Coach Daspit organized the George Elementary 5K Fun Run and raised more than $1,000 for the P.E. Department. |
