Beginning at third grade, students attend three formal P.E. classes each week that begin with teacher-led warm-ups to promote good exercise habits. Other activities include everything from jogging around the WCCA field to learning the basic rules for such games as basketball, hockey, kick ball, and baseball.
Classroom curriculum becomes more intense as students are introduced to nutrition and health concepts in fourth and fifth grades, with fifth graders participating in a police-department-run program that promotes self-esteem and anti-drug messages.
All intermediate department students are introduced to the concept of physical fitness testing, sanctioned by the U.S. Government and used in schools as the litmus test for encouraging individual physical fitness.
