P.E. with Mr. "Coach" Patena

Welcome to Physical Education at Mirage Elementary! I am Coach Patena, and I am incredibly excited to kick off a brand-new school year with all of our students.

In PE, our program primarily focuses on team activities designed to build strong, confident, and cooperative learners. Throughout the year, students will be learning new physical activities while also participating in many of the classic, fun games they have loved playing over the years.

Our core objectives and focus areas for the year include:

• Teamwork & Collaboration: Learning how to work together effectively to achieve common goals.

• Sportsmanship: Developing respect, fairness, and positive attitudes both on and off the field.

• Lifelong Life Skills: Practicing communication, leadership, and resilience skills that students can begin utilizing immediately in their daily lives.

• Enthusiasm for Fitness: Making physical activity enjoyable so students develop a genuine love for exercise and healthy living.

My ultimate goal is to make PE an engaging, high-energy environment where every student looks forward to moving, playing, and growing together.

Let's make it a fantastic year—Go Roadrunners!
