From Mr. Green,
Starting this semester we are fortunate to introduce character education on certain days of PE class. This is part of a grant we receive from the federal government to schools that serve a large population of armed forces dependents. Students will work though modules that address respect, integrity, and related ideals that are useful in personal life as well as athletic ventures. The major issue is serving all of our students a worthwhile amount to build connectivity. Please be patient with us as we work out the details to have the deepest impact throughout the school. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at rgreen@mcsdga.net.

Richburg: PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Greetings students and parents!
Welcome back! I am super excited to join the ACMS family this year and even more excited about the opportunity to teach your child P.E. for the 2018-2019 school year!
A little about me...I am starting my 20th year as an educator in the MCSD. However, this is my first year at Aaron Cohn MS and I am beyond thrilled about starting this new endeavor.
In Physical Education class, your child will learn the health benefits of being physically active, regularly participate in fitness activities, participate in a variety of sports, and most importantly...HAVE FUN!
Please check back soon for more information about what your child will be doing in PE throughout the year.
Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns.
I am looking forward to meeting you!
Thank-you,
