Lowell Physical Education/Health Teacher

Ms. Donahue’s Physical Education/Health Goals:

•I am inspired to create better opportunities for students to participate, perform and lead in physical education

class, and through this, improve their life choices.

•I am striving for the student’s self-esteem, social skills and teamwork to

improve from taking part in the different activities.

A few reminders:

•Students have physical education/health class twice a week for 40 minutes

•Students must wear sneakers for safety concerns

•Students should be prepared to move and have fun!

The Physical Education/Health program is based on the National

Physical Education and Health Standards
