Physical Education Pre-k - 8th
Greetings! My name is Mr. Vaz and I am the Physical Education teacher at Trinity Regional School. I have been teaching at Trinity Regional School for 34 years. Prior to that, I was a substitute teacher for 5 years in Commack and Dix Hills school districts. I have a Master's Degree in Liberal Studies from SUNY Stony Brook, a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Hofstra University and an Associate Degree from Suffolk Community College. While teaching at Trinity Regional School, I was a member of the United States Coast Guard Reserves for 25 years before retiring in 2016 with the rank of Chief Petty Officer.
I'm looking forward to another great school year where I expect students to come to Phys Ed class fully prepared and eager to participate in whatever lesson I have prepared for them. In grades Pre-Kindergarten through 2nd grade, I create a fun and safe environment where students have the opportunity to improve their physical fitness, coordination, enhance positive social inter-play skills, and learn to follow simple game rules and instructions. In grades 3rd - 8th, we work on improving physical fitness and athletic skills in various sports, along with the understanding of good sportsmanship and fair play.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail. Thank you and let's pray for an exciting and outstanding school year.
