~Welcome to Mrs. Williams' and Pikars' Web page~
Please check out our webpage for different units the students will be learning throughout the year. Long term projects will be posted on our Related Arts calendar monthly.
Grades 1-4: Students will be working on bowling skills and striking objects with rackets or handles this month. We will also be fitness testing on jogging, sit-ups, push-ups, and sit and reach.
Grades 5-8: Students will be working on Volleyball this month. We will also be fitness testing on a 3 minute jog, wall push-ups, body rows off the wall, crunches, pull-ups, and sit and reach for an extra credit opportunity. Fitness testing will be worth 50 points. Please encourage kids to practice at home (since we only see classes once a week).
GRADING POLICY: For each P.E. class your child has the opportunity to earn a total of 6 points if he/she is following directions and participating to his/her full potential. Points will be taken from the total if there is misbehavior or nonparticipation. A point will also be taken for an absence in the class, even if it is and excused absence. A doctor's note is required if there is an injury or illness that does not allow your child to participate in P.E. class.
Mrs. Pikar teaches PE on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. She also teaches Art on Thursday and Friday. Mrs. Williams teaches PE on Thursday and Friday.

All about Mrs. Pikar and Mrs. Williams:
My name is Melanie Pikar and I am job sharing with Mrs. Williams in the physical education classes this year. Along with teaching P.E I will also be teaching art to students in grades 1-4! I have my degree from Eastern Kentucky University and have taught for fifteen years with the last eight of those being in physical education. I was a certified CPR instructor for two years in Cincinnati and an aerobics instructor and certified personal trainer in northern Kentucky for 6 years. I have also coached high school and elementary softball and cross country teams at schools in Ky. I enjoy being a director with Camp Laffalot camps in the summer and watching children have fun while learning about different sports. I am very active and love playing with my two boys ages 14 and 11. I enjoy horseback riding, hiking and white water rafting. I am looking forward to teaching your children the importance of physical activity and the positive effect it has on their lives. I believe children learn physical skills through practice and interactive games which focus on particular skills. I believe every child has the ability to learn new skills and will do well if encouraged and praised for their effort.
My name is Mrs. Heather Williams. I attended the University of Dayton, played softball and earned a degree in Physical Education and Health. I have been teaching for ten years. Three of those years were spent at Seton High School teaching and coaching in various sports. I am actively involved in Laffalot summer camps which gives children the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of exercise through sports and activities (while still having fun!) This is my seventh year at I.H.M and I look forward to teaching your children the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. I believe that exercise can be found in a variety of ways and it can have a positive effect on a persons physical, social, and emotional well-being. In my spare time I enjoy anything outdoors. But mostly I enjoy spending time with my family and two daughters.
