The Physical Education Department from Gen. R. Sanchez Elementary gives every child the opportunity to improve their Physical, Mental and Social Skills. Every child is challenged through different activities used in our curriculum. We believe that our students will be successful in all the activities and competitions. We also stress to our students that academics must come before athletics.

Our program consists of:

*Presidential Challenge
