The Sunset Ridge physical education program is designed to provide a student-centered environment that fosters a love of learning, positively cooperating with others, and having a healthy lifestyle. We strive to teach the whole child through affective, cognitive, and physical development. All students are offered daily physical education for forty minutes. Each unit includes the historical background of the activity, practice and development of required skills to participate, and rules and strategies. In addition to meeting the National and State Standards, the goals of the Sunset Ridge PE program are to:

Participate in regular physical activity
Value physical activity and fitness and the role they play in a healthy lifestyle
