Physical Education

The physical fitness of our students is a priority, and our physical education program is a cornerstone of the Lawton experience.

A strong commitment to Physical Education with a highly qualified Physical Education Specialist. Cheryl Parks is an award winning P.E. teacher with 17.5 years at Lawton: she received the prestigious 2005 Washington Coalition for Promoting Physical Fitness Award and the 2003 Recipient of the King County Coalition for Physical Activity’s “Physical Education Excellence Award.”
A success-oriented physical education program with an emphasis on cooperation, lifetime health and fitness, and motor skill development which is achieved through sports skills, cooperation, and individual success in a non-threatening environment, and skill based portfolio assessments for intermediate students.
Uses the new Health and Fitness Curriculum Five for Life.
Fun and varied activities including yoga, roller skating, rock climbing, juggling, jump roping, gymnastics, fencing and unicycling… just to name a few.
After school P.E. clubs such as beginning and advanced unicycle riding, yoga, CIRC-FIT, tumbling and ZumbAtomic.
All students receive P.E. three times a week for 30 minute classes all year. At 90 minutes a week, our school is one of a few schools that meet the state required minutes for Physical Education instruction.
The designated off-site extension for Seattle Pacific University student-teachers.
Our very own P.E. and Health newsletter, the “Gym-NEWS-ium” written by Ms. Parks to share information with students and parents.
