Hello Brassfield families!
My name is Mr. Flahive and I am the new Physical Education teacher at Brassfield Elementary. During the previous two years, I worked at Brassfield as a one-on-one Teacher Assistant in 4th and 5th grade classrooms. It is truly a wonderful school and I am incredibly excited to have the opportunity to teach Physical Education here!
I am originally from upstate New York, where I attended SUNY Brockport and graduated with a degree in Physical Education. In 2010, I decided to move to Raleigh in order to avoid the harsh winters of the north. I absolutely love the area, and plan to spend the remainder of my career here. Some of my favorite hobbies include: playing and watching a variety of sports, spending time outdoors, hanging out with friends and family, and listening to music. I would also love to further explore some of the attractions that North Carolina has to offer, like the mountains and various beaches.
In the coming year, our students will be actively engaged in activities that are designed to enhance various skills, while achieving and maintaining a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. I will also teach the importance of eating well and pursuing healthy lifestyles outside of the classroom. Different events that will be a part of the PE program include: Jump Rope for Heart, First in Fitness, and Super Kids Day. In addition, I look forward to continuing Brassfield's participation in the PEPI program, which gives a select group of high school students the opportunity to teach PE lessons.
I look forward to meeting everyone!
Physical Education Blog will soon be up and running.
