PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDS HEALTHY BODIES

Parents,
Please remember to make sure that your child is wearing the proper shoes for physical education class and daily recess.
It is not safe to exercise or play wearing shoes that are not made for that purpose. High heels, dress shoes that have a high heel, flip flops, and sandals, should not be worn during daily recess or PE class.
Thank you so much for your help with this.
