THE PURPOSE OF BONNER SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROGRAMS IS FOR ALL STUDENTS TO ACQUIRE A KNOWLEDGE BASE FOR WELLNESS THAT ENCOMPASSES SOCIAL, PHYSICAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH.  STUDENTS WILL FURTHER APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE GAINED THROUGH PARTICIPATION, STUDY AND INVOLVEMENT IN A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES
RESULTING IN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.  STUDENTS WILL BE MOTIVATED TO ANALYZE AND ADAPT THEIR WELLNESS CHOICES TO THEIR CHANGING ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFETIME THROUGH FITNESS, SPORTS, RECREATION, NUTRITION, KNOWLEDGE OF BODY SYSTEMS, SAFETY AND FIRST AID, AND PERSONAL HEALTH AND HYGIENE.  THIS IS A PARTICIPATION CLASS, STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DRESS OUT AND PARTICIPATE EACH AND EVERY DAY.
