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!
