Northside Elementary School Physical Education

My Name is Rick Dekeon and I am Northside's physical education teacher.
My goal as Northside elementary school's physical education teacher is for kids to experience a life full of activity and allow them to participate in activities that don't frighten or intimidate them. My students learn physical activities they can participate in over the course of their lifetime. They also learn the many cognitive reasons people should be active. My website contains the many activities we do in our physical education program. It includes the many fun things we do, and includes activities, motivational ideas, and quizzes, along with other bits of worthwhile information. This website is maintained and updated by myself, Mr. Dekeon at Northside Elementary School. Any comments, suggestions or questions, please e-mail me at dekeonataaps.k12.mi.us, Change The at to the @ symbol, enjoy your visits and please visit often I always update!
