Welcome to PE 19-20 School year!

Greetings Chargers,

      Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! This will be my third year here at Archway Arete and I am very excited to get the year started. This is also my second year teaching Second-Fifth Grade. This year, the scholars will be learning about many sports and activities. I will include traditional sports such as volleyball and hockey along with many other variety of activities. My goal is to develop sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership into each lesson. Each scholar will have an opportunity to grow in both skill and coordination. Below you will find my curriculum for the year. Please note these activities are not in a particular order. I can't wait to start the year strong and make it  very enjoyable for your youth athletes! Have a great day and Go Chargers!

Best regards,
Coach Gethings
