The East Woods Athletic program makes important contributions to the education of the whole child. Beginning in Nursery, students attend physical education classes to acquire and develop physical skills, social skills, cooperative skills, diligent work habits, respect for others and integrity.
Fun, fitness and friendship through the fundamentals of physical education stimulates East Woods students to engage in physical activities not only during their school years, but also for the rest of their life. Physical activities are undertaken in an active, caring, supportive and non-threatening atmosphere in which every child is challenged and successful. The success of the program is measured by the continuous growth each child shows from year to year.
Fifth through Ninth grade students participate in interscholastic athletics during fall, winter and spring. In addition to receiving a firm grounding in their elected sport, students will learn sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork and cooperation and basic athletic skill development. They also learn to be both good winners and gracious losers. The spirit of competition is the spirit of sportsmanship at East Woods.
