The essence of physical education in Naperville 203 is teaching fitness instead of sports. The underlying philosophy is that if physical education class can be used to instruct kids how to monitor and maintain their own health and fitness, then the lessons they learn will serve them for life. And probably a longer and happier life at that. What’s being taught, really is a lifestyle. The students are developing healthy habits, skills, and a sense of fun, along with a knowledge of how their bodies work. Naperville’s gym teachers are opening up new vistas for their students by exposing them to such a wide range of activities that they can’t help but find something they enjoy. They’re getting kids hooked on moving instead of sitting in front of the television.
