The Physical Education

seeking a motion to recommend

the adoption of SPARK and 5 for

Life to the Pasco School Board for

use in grades K-12.

From Abbey Garza:

Both curriculums work

perfect for the philosophy

of the PSD PE department.

They will allow us to teach

ALL standards in a fun, fresh

and interactive way.
