Elementary School Physical Education Programs

Dear Parents,

     For those of you who do not know me, my name is Coach Brax.  I am the Physical Education teacher and “Just Say No” Club sponsor.  I have here at Highland Park for 23 years.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing your child to attend Highland Park Elementary.

     In Physical Education, I have a few items I need for your child to bring with them when they come to Phhysical Education:

Kindergarten – Second grade: 

                       1. Tennis shoes and socks

                       2. If girls wear dresses, shorts to put on under their dress

Third – Fifth grade:  

                           1. Clothing that does not restrict their movement                     

                           2. Tennis shoes and socks

I request that your child come to class properly dressed.  The reason for this, is the safety and personal hygiene of your child.                                         

     If you have any questions, please contact me at 335-1334 ext. 159 or e-mail me at terry.brax@hpisd.net.

Below is some information you might need.
