Chenango Forks Physical Education
Physical Education is an integral part of the total education program. As such it must seek to contribute to the overall goals of the educational program of which it is a part. It contributes to the development of the individual through the natural medium of physical activity-human moment. It must be a carefully planned sequence of learning experiences designed to fulfill the growth, development and behavior needs of each student.
The PE experience should be a positive motivational force that will lead the individual to develop a lifestyle that includes physical activity.
