As the Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics, I would like to welcome all of you to the 2009-2010 school year. I am extremely excited about the new school year. At Comsewogue we have sixty-one athletic teams and we are fortunate to have outstanding athletic facilities at both the high school and JFK. Our fitness facility at the high school continues to be used by our physical education classes, intramural program and athletic teams. We also offer a fitness class for the Comsewogue community through our Community Education Program. All of our new grass fields are being used by our physical education classes and athletic teams. The three tennis courts at the middle school and six tennis courts at the high school continue to be widely used by students and community members.
The Physical Education and Health departments continue to strive towards having all students establish life-long fitness skills that will become part of their lives forever. As educators it is our responsibility to instill the qualities of a healthy mind and body. At the primary and secondary levels the Health and Physical Education curriculum will continue to be aligned with New York State Learning Standards. At the high school we are very excited about our refurbished project adventure course that will be used in physical education this spring. At the elementary level we have incorporated a walking/running unit into our curriculum and hope that all of our schools and the Comsewogue community will be participating in our annual 5K Warrior Music/Athletic Scholarship Race and Fun Run that is open to all. It is a great event that is part of the wonderful history that we have at Comsewogue. The date for this year’s Warrior Scholarship Run will be Sunday, May 16, 2010. Stay tuned for upcoming information on how to register.
Our Interscholastic Athletic program will follow four basic principles that will be the foundation of Comsewogue Athletics.
• Commitment/Dedication
Commit to the sport you have decided to participate in and dedicate yourself to be the best you can be.
• Passion
Believe in what you are doing and make it an important part of your life.
• Effort
Work hard and good things will happen.
• Have Fun
Enjoy what you are doing and make the most of each moment.
All our teams’ schedules and directions can be found on the district website. You can also go to the Section XI website at www.sectionxi.org for information pertaining to suffolk county athletics.
Should you ever have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call me or stop by my office located in the high school. My office phone number is 474-8196 and my e-mail address is mdevincenzo@comsewogue.com
I am excited about the new school year and I am proud to be a part of the Comsewogue team.
Go Warriors!
