WELCOME TO DJAMS PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

WELCOME TO DJAMS PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

At DJAMS we strive to develop your child into a well-rounded and prepared adult.  As the Physical Education Department, our role is creating a physically educated student with the knowledge base to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We want you to be active, understand all your options and be lifelong physical movers!  We hope to create a physically educated person. We want you to learn:
  • What is fitness?
  • How do you get fit? 
  • How do you maintain fitness?
All students will learn to hook up to heart rate monitors to see the effects of movement on their heart.  All students will know what different zones feel like- high cardio, low cardio and of course your target zone!
