On Monday, February 3, 2025, students in grades K-4 laced up their skates and kicked off their roller skating unit in physical education. Thanks to the efforts of PE teachers Tammy Bullerman, Paul Meyer, and Jesse Morgan, specialized skates with soft wheels were secured to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Since then, the elementary gym has been filled with energy and excitement as students glide across the floor, refining their roller skating skills.
This long-standing tradition, established decades ago, highlights roller skating as a "Lifetime Sport"—one that fosters balance, coordination, and motor skill development. Beyond its physical benefits, roller skating is an excellent cardiovascular workout, helping students build endurance while having fun. Throughout the unit, students have been facing challenges that encourage perseverance and resilience—valuable skills both in and out of the gym.
With each passing day, students are gaining confidence on wheels, and we can’t wait to see their progress at the end of the unit! 🛼🎉
