Mission Statement

“There is no treatment or drug which can overcome or negate the effects of a poor diet, inadequate nutrition, lack of exercise, and an unhealthy lifestyle.”
~David Getoff, CTN, CCN, FAAIM, Vice President of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation.

My goal is to guide each student through the world of holistic nutrition and functional exercise. Each student will learn how to reach their goals through eating live, organic foods full of vitality, through playing sports and through functional exercise using the 7 Primal Pattern Movements(squat, bend, lunge, push, pull, twist, and gait(walking, jogging, sprinting) that are used in our everyday lives, at work, and in all the sports we play. They are the base for most movements we perform.

My Physical Education Program teaches my students how to “Eat, Move, And Be Healthy”. On Monday, Tuesday and Friday, traditional, individual, and team sports are offered along with project adventure and international games.

To further their development in health/nutrition and fitness, my students participate in a Wednesday jog/walk and on Thursday’s will participate in what is called “Functional Exercise” so they can strengthen their muscles and stay functional in all of the primal pattern movements.  They will also  have a weekly “Word Of The Week ” with topics that include: organic foods, gluten, metabolic typing, dangers of sugar, hydration, nutrition-you are “what “you eat,, you are “when you eat, why you “never” cut calories, and much more.

These activities involve sportsmanship, team work, friendly competition, and risk taking while growing socially and developing a positive self-image.

By the end of my program I hope that each student will become intrinsically motivated to continue eating clean, organic foods and exercising in a healthy way for the rest of their lives.

Lunchtime Sports
I run the Lunchtime Intramural Sports program at Sierra Vista for all girls and boys interested. Each sport is played for four weeks with prizes awarded to the first and second place teams. Lunchtime sports encourage all students to take part in extra-curricular activities and is a great way to make friends and grow socially while having fun. Click on the Intramural Sports button to see what sports are offered.

Parents/Guardians I look forward to working with all of your sons/daughters this year. It is going to be a great year. Please call or email me anytime with questions, comments, or concerns.
