Physical activity in our daily routines is crucial to a healthy lifestyle.  Here at SJGS, we also know that physical exercise plays an important role in the neurodevelopment of children of all ages.  The motor skills used on the athletic field also contribute to better brain functioning in the classroom and in social situations.  Physical activity is built into each school day beginning with 30 minutes of track walking in the morning, including obstacle course activities at recess and ample time for free play/gross motor play activities on our 1-acre "green" playground.
