Class procedures in 1 st through 5 th grade are simple and consistent. Students stand in an assigned squad position during our prayer and stretching. Afterward, we continue our warm-up with basketball practice, jump roping, jogging, dancing or any activity that helps energize our students.

We then begin our lesson or activity portion and finish with a cool down period and a drink.

Pre-K and Kindergarten classes are less structured and the activities and games are simple and fun. Enjoying movement and activities is very important at this age. My hope is that all students look forward to gym class and feel good about participating in our many activities. This is a challenge to be taken seriously. Please contact me if there are any concerns your or your child may have.

While in the gym students are expected to follow a few basic rules. All students are expected to be respectful, use equipment as instructed, play fair and try their best.

Gym uniforms are navy LC gym shirt and shorts. LC sports logos are not accepted as the regulation uniform. Plain navy nylon or sweat suits or LC sweat suits are to be worn over the shorts during certain times of the school year. Please refer to the handbook. Real sneakers must be worn, no clog type or platform sneakers. If a student does not have his uniform on gym day, he will not participate in class.
