Physical Education

     My name is Ms. Nelson, and I will be teaching PE this year! I graduated from Wheaton College with a Bachelor's of Science in Kinesiology. I also played on the women's varsity basketball team and participated in numerous intramural sports, so I am very excited to share my love of sports and physical activity with the students. It is my goal that each student learns to appreciate the amazing abilities of the body that God has granted to us, while having fun learning new games and activities.
