Recognizing the importance of educating the whole child, the Los Alisos Middle School Physical Education Department is committed to developing a child who is physically, mentally, emotionally and socially healthy. Such a child is more likely to become an adult who is motivated to remain healthy.
The promotion of healthy physical activity coupled with instilling a commitment to lifelong learning ensures that each student will leave Los Alisos Middle School with a positive self image and the ability to successfully meet and overcome new intellectual, social, emotional and physical challenges.
