Physical Education

Hello Blue Wave Family,

My name is Melissa De Leon-Mann a.k.a Coach Melissa, and I’m so excited to be here at P.K. Yonge as your new Elementary K-5  Physical Education Teacher!

I’m a former professional track runner who competed for my country of birth, Trinidad and Tobago! I am  also a multiple-time Track All-American and graduate of the University of Florida Gators! I feel blessed to be in this position, which allows me to teach and share my knowledge in my favorite subject, Physical Education. I look forward to year filled with teaching the students about their personal  fitness, healthy lifestyles, improving their their fundamental movement skills, rhythms & dance, learning about sportsmanship, lots of team building activities playing games, but also instructing the students on  the techniques, skills, and rules of various sports. So throw on your PE sneakers, bring your water bottles, a good attitude,your listening ears, and a smile and let’s do this!!!
