Physical Education

A school gym with brightly colored balls.

Physical Education is much more than participating in physical activity. It is about learning how to be involved in ways that benefit you most. It is about exploring different opportunities, whether that be team sports, individual sports, or fitness-based activities. It’s about learning the physiology of the body and the impact on the brain and making good choices that lead to a long and healthy life.

Biography:

Hello Kohl Colts! My name is Jacy Bruno and this is my 27th year teaching! I have been teaching PE at Mesa Elementary for 21 years and have the unique opportunity to add Kohl to my teaching role this year for half of the Kohl students. I grew up in Nebraska where I received my Elementary Education and Physical Education undergraduate degrees and masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am also the Elementary PE teacher leader for the district. I love watching students learn and have fun! I want to expose students to a variety of activities so that they are able to be life long learners and find a love for movement. I also believe that building relationships with students is the best way to make connections and help students find joy and success in PE. Outside of teaching I love spending time with family and friends, watching my boys play sports (Dax is in 8th grade at Aspen Creek and Talon is a junior at Broomfield High), enjoying time at the lake in Nebraska during the summer, reading, going to book club, and exercising.

Biography:

As someone who loves being active by mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, playing soccer, and more I am passionate about helping students build confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of movement. My goal is to design inclusive, high-energy lessons that support all learners while promoting physical, social, and emotional growth. Through games, fitness activities, and skill development, I encourage students to challenge themselves, work together, and have fun while staying active. I believe Physical Education plays an important role in supporting students’ overall well-being and success in school.
