Our PE coaches see your Mountain Lions every single day! According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), students who are more physically active tend to achieve higher grades, have better school attendance, and maintain a higher level of attention and focus. PE not only helps decrease certain behaviors in the classroom, but it can also relieve stress, improve bone and heart health, and help your Mountain Lion strengthen friendships!
