All students at Eldredge participate in Physical Education twice a week
for 40
minutes of instruction and health once a week. The physical education
program focuses on non-competitive
acquisition of skills. Particular emphasis is placed on fun and fitness
with special recognition given to good sportsmanship and team work. The
program includes many traditional team sports and cooperative games,
such as Island Hopping, Monarch and Hyperspace, in which everyone
participates equally. Students also jump rope, juggle, and attempt to
set new school fitness records. Eldredge students raise funds for the
American Heart Asssociation by annually participating in "Jump Rope for
Heart".
