Students from Green Elementary Academics and Athletics Magnet School recently walked over to Patrick Henry and surprised the student body with wonderful dance and music during lunch. The Patrick Henry principal was in on the secret and introduced the students and Green Elementary PE teachers.
The PE curriculum at Green Elementary includes various forms of dance including Ballroom dance with all the manners and cordial academics associated with it. In addition students learn cultural dances in preparation of the Junior Olympics celebration Green has in late spring. The PE Department and Green Elementary School have received numerous awards for their athletic program in addition to their high ranking academic scores.
Some of these are: Best Physical Education Program in State of California Association For Health Physical Education Recreation and Dance; Exemplary Elementary Physical Education Site, San Diego County Office of Education; Spotlight on Success School, Presentation to San Diego Unified School Board; Let's Move Campaign Presenters at Petco Park and San Diego Convention Center for American Alliance for Health Physical Education Recreation and Dance.
