• Welcome! Let's get excited about PE and being active!  
     
    The Monthly Core Challenge is up and running! Who will challenge Dr. Mangano and Mr. Thompson? Complete the challenge, print out the calendar, sign it and have a parent/guardian sign it, and turn it in to me or Mr. Raley the first week in March.
     

    Throughout each marking period, you will have the opportunity to learn from myself and Mr. Raley. You will begin each marking period in my gym, rotate to Mr. Raley's gym for the second unit and return to my gym for the third unit.  

     

    All students are required to wear the approved Methacton uniform which includes a t-shirt and shorts, as well as, socks and sneakers. The uniform can be purchased through the following link:

    1st MP: Tennis, Flag FB, Cross Country/Heart Rate Monitors
     
    Be prepared to go outside every class period until the end of the marking period . Bring a sweatshirt and/or sweatpants to wear over your uniform for the chilly days. If you have PE during 1st or 2nd period, you may also want to bring an extra pair of socks and/or sneakers because the grass is often very wet.
     
     
     We will be outside again for the 4th marking period so please be prepared for the early chilly spring weather with a sweatshirt and/or sweatpants to wear over your uniform.
