Heywood Avenue School
Welcome back to a bright and fun filled school year! My name is Mr. Cherry and this is my seventh year teaching at Heywood Avenue School. In physical education, all grades will be going over motor movements, physical space, visual and verbal signals, cooperative interactions, and health topics. Health will also be integrated into the curriculum. Health topics will vary by grade level.
