    National Physical Education Week

    In celebration of National Physical Education Week, we're shining a light on Mike Vance and Brooke Graham's physical education classes from the High School, who are embarking on a fishing unit at SUNY New Paltz's picturesque pond. This collaboration with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), now in its ninth year, is about more than just catching fish—it's about fostering an appreciation for outdoor activity, conservation, and respect for nature.
