Educational Program

Educational Program: Physical Education

In addition to a child's primary class teacher, other learning specialists will develop a child's skills within school-wide programs. All children at Spruce Street School participate in arts, Spanish, electives, and yoga as part of the daily curriculum.

Physical Education (PE)

All classes meet for PE each week. PE is designed to help children develop the skill, knowledge and attitudes necessary for participating in active, healthy living. Regular physical activity helps children build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints; build lean muscle and reduce fat; reduces feeling of depression and anxiety; and may, through its effect on mental health, increase students' capacity for learning.

Cross Country

Children can sign up for cross country running in the fall. The emphasis is on running with friends. Practices are after school and there are a few all-city meets on weekends in Woodland Park.
