The 5th-8th grade students are currently participating in a great aerobic activity in their P.E. class.  They are playing hockey and really getting their heart rates up and working up a sweat.  St. Andrew's may have a future Sabres player in their midst.

THE ANNUAL STUDENT - FACULTY VOLLEYBALL GAME will be played ON 2/3/12, immediately after the 8:30 AM Mass.  Preceding the game, the St. Andrew's Cheerleader will have a Pep Rally.  GO LANCERS!!

THE MISSION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION  IS TO ENABLE ALL STUDENTS TO SUSTAIN REGULAR, LIFELONG PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS A FOUNDATION FOR A HEALTHY, PRODUCTIVE AND FULFILLING LIFE.

February is National Heart Month and our 7th grade health students have created posters on healthy behaviors for a healthy heart. 

Here are just a few tips from our students.

1.  Eat a balanced diet low in sodium, fat and cholesterol and high in omega 3.

2.  Do aerobic exercises to strengthen your cardiovascular system.

3.  Don't smoke!!
