Physical Education

  • Welcome to Physical Education!   Peter Frank  Peter.Frank@spps.org

    My name is Peter Frank and I am the Physical Education teacher at Hamline Elementary. I look forward to being here for my second year and fifth year overall as a Physical Education teacher with the Saint Paul School District.

    My curriculum is directly linked to the district and national standards for Physical Education which you will find below.  Throughout the school year, children will be exposed to a wide variety of individual and team sports, lifetime physical activities, and cooperative games.  Physical Education is for everyone and the main focus for each lesson is for students to be successful in a safe and positive environment while having fun!

    Please feel free to email or call any time.  Thanks for your support!
