Welcome to the John Eliot Elementary School
Physical Education Website
​Needham Public Schools

Welcome!  Please feel free to browse the website to learn about the physical education classroom, review our curriculum and familiarize yourself with our grade level outcomes that will be assessed for the progress report card.  I will often feature student work or action shots from the units of study throughout the year.  Be sure to check back often to see what we are up to.

My mission is to create a safe environment where each student has a chance to learn motor skills and develop a positive attitude towards physical education that will last a lifetime. 

Thanks,
Mr. Brenhiser
