Apollo is a SPARK School!

SPARK is a research-based organization dedicated to creating, implementing, and evaluating programs that promote lifelong wellness. SPARK is dedicated to improve the quantity and quality of physical activity for children everywhere. The focus of SPARK is the development of healthy lifestyles, motor skills and movement knowledge, and social and personal skills.

It is expected that SPARK Physical Education/Physical Activity students will:

• Enjoy and seek out physical activity.
• Develop and maintain acceptable levels of physical fitness.
• Develop a variety of basic movement and manipulative skills so they will experience success and feel comfortable during present and future physical activity pursuits.
• Develop the ability to get along with others in movement environments (e.g., share space and equipment, employ the “golden rule” of competition – be a good sport, and demonstrate cooperative behavior.
