Smashing new all around seasonal sport....

Entering cycle 2 we will be learning a new sport, Volleyball. This is a great sport as well as an enjoyable recreational activity to include with family and friends. You can enjoy this game all year round.....nothing like playing a game of Volleyball on a beach in the sand with the sound of the ocean. Another fantastic addition about this game is that you can play it with just 2 people as well as with a large group. There are just a few skills that must be conquered at the beginning level. The under hand serve is the easiest skill to master and eventually for a more powerful serve you can build your skill set to an over hand serve. The bump and set are key terms to understand in order to have simple strategys for games. Each week tune in to key points that will enable you to master and enjoy "volleying" for a fun sport!

The Power of Fitness

Welcome to Quitman’s Physical Education Department!

Hi, my name is Ms. Simonovich. I have been in the Newark District for 5 years but have been involved in the education of fitness over all for over 20 years. I have a passion for this field of teaching and truly believe that how a person feels about themselves physically very much ties in with their internal mental state. Having a strong self- esteem projects in all our endeavors in life. How we perform in school, and socialize with others is all part of physical education. One of the key components to success in physical education is discipline…as you can see this factor ties into all areas of our life. A child who is disciplined will succeed to accomplish their goals not only in sports, but in school, with their friends, and family. If, I can accomplish one task in my job as an educator, it is to instill a sense of pride and make students feel good about themselves, both inside and out!
