PE+Leadership+Program

Why I Love the Phys. Ed. Leadership Program! I love PE Leadership because we set good examples for other kids and I enjoy playing with kids and running the Intramurals. I also love Leadership because I find the kids really cute!! Leadership teaches me to be on time for anything. We also make sure kids are having fun, playing safe, being active and having healthy hearts. The thing that I love the most is when I see kids smiling and playing with the equipment. That is why I enjoy the PE Leadership program so much!!

We are now in our 3rd year with the P.E. Leadership Program and it is a huge success! Without the students’ hard work and dedication our playgrounds would not be as active.

The responsibilities of a P.E. Leader are as follows: v Run the intramural programs v Distributes playground equipment on each of the four school playgrounds. v Promote good sportsmanship and school spirit v Keep the equipment room organized and ensure that all the balls have air in them v Organize the lost and found closets v Do fitness warm-ups at assemblies v Organize sports outside (especially with the younger students) v Promote the 7 Habits of Happy Kids v Help out at School based sports events (ex: Track and Field) v …and any other creative ideas they come up with J

The students in the P.E Leadership Program dedicate their free time to making our playgrounds fun, active and conflict free. There are reliable, trustworthy, creative, fair, assertive, punctual, organized and so much more. They are excellent role models for the other students in our school and they are so appreciated by all NMES staff.
