PE Letter to Parents K – 8th Grades
August 4, 2025 |
| Immanuel Lutheran Christian Academy, Physical Education Department Mr. Emsy Clark – PE Teacher / Coach Dear K – 8th grade Parents and Guardians, Greetings and welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Immanuel Lutheran Christian Academy! I’m excited and honored to be leading your child in Physical Education this year. Allow me to briefly introduce myself. My name is Mr. Emsy Clark, or as many students call me, “Coach.” I have been happily married to my wife, Cole Clark, for 20 years. We are blessed with three wonderful children—all of whom attend ILCA. Our son Blaine is 15 and entering 9th grade, our middle daughter Ezra is in 7th grade, and our youngest, Everest, is in 2nd grade. We are a proud ILCA family, committed to Christian education and the well-being of our school community. In PE this year, students will begin each class with a student-led devotional, helping them start with the right mindset and heart. From there, we’ll move into basic calisthenics and plyometric exercises to build strength, endurance, and agility. After warm-ups, we will dive into the theme of the week or month, which will rotate throughout the year. Some of our exciting themes include: Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Gaelic Football, Team Building Activities, and many more! A strong focus will also be placed on discipline and respect, both of which are crucial elements of our daily routine and overall class structure. These values help create a safe and encouraging learning environment for all students. I am deeply passionate about health and fitness, and I will continue to seek out new and engaging ways to support the physical development and overall well-being of every child. It is my mission to make PE a positive and uplifting experience where students grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.
