Chico Christian School has chosen to use the SPARK physical education curriculum as the way to teach children the importance of physical activity, the benefits of healthy eating, and the roll the both play on our bodies.
SPARK is a research-based curriculum that focuses on students daily physical activity, introducing and refining movement skills, teaching students a variety of sports, and giving students the tools to have healthy lifestyle management skills. These concepts are introduced at the K-2 level with Ms. Kate Reeves, refined and applied at the 3-5 grade level with Mrs. Katie Leach, and applied and enhanced with Mr. Dunn at the middle school level.
At Chico Christian School we believe that God has given us our bodies as a gift and we are to steward that gift well. We believe kids' active bodies have active minds so that learning can be optimized and ultimately God is glorified.
