Our Program All students at Blacksburg Middle School participate in the physical education and health program.  Health Education and Physical Education combine to motivate individuals to become focused on total body wellness.  Health classes provide the foundation for developing skills, attitudes, and behaviors that will assist students in establishing healthy lifestyles.  Units of study focus on such topics as mental health, physical fitness, nutrition, family life, and disease prevention. Physical education provides experiences that will enable students to become healthy, active and productive citizens.  Conditioning, active participation, knowledge of rules, and development of skills are emphasized.  Activities include traditional team sports, individual sports and leisure-time activities. In order to ensure safety, comfort, and proper attire, students are required to wear uniforms, athletic shoes, and sport socks in P.E. classes.  Uniforms may be ordered from the physical education department.
