We are juggling, learning to ride unicycles, building human pyramids, jumping rope, balancing on balance boards, tumbling, and more! I am an elementary physical education teacher and this year my gym and my students have come alive through circus arts. Our Circus Club meets every Wednesday and Thursday after school. But, why circus?
There is an activity for everyone at all different skill levels. There is opportunity for individual expression as well as a sense of group belonging. There is competency that requires physical skills and fitness.

I am a physical education teacher at a public high school and instruct a "Fit for Life" after school program. Through this program, the students are developing the knowledge and skills to be...fit for life! They begin to understand the concepts of fitness and a healthy lifestyle and are giving the opportunity to have first hand experience with creating fitness goals. My goal is to teach students how to enhance their physical fitness without the cost of expensive equipment and gym membership.
