Physical Education/Health

 

Welcome back! 

Let's get started on another great year.

 

 

It does not matter what time of year! There is no reason we can't still say hello to Healthy! What better than to get our bodies in shape than enjoying all nature has to offer! Go to a Park, Recreation area, or ANY outdoor area. They are really beautiful any time of year. Just make sure to be active.  If you equip yourself with the right gear you can enjoy all your favorite activities no mater the weather.

Let's get our bodies in shape! Remember to eat right, sleep at night, and make your body out of sight! Now is a great time to get in shape! Let's make sure we get some exercise.  GO outside! You shouldn't lay around ! There are plenty of great OUTDOOR activities waiting for you to do. Ride a bike, skateboard, rollerblade, walk in the park, go for a jog, skate, Kayak, play catch. The possibilities are endless!

Biography:
Hello, my name is Mr. VanDerHoof. I am the Physical Education/Health teacher here at Dugan. This is my 18th year here at Frank Dugan Elementary School and I enjoy it more each year. I am a believer that children should learn to appreciate health and fitness and learn to take care of their bodies throughout their childhood and continue through their lives. I strive to do this in all of my classes. Physical Education/Health should be a fun, enjoyable, and motivational experience for all children.
