Hello, my name is John Zimmer and I teach physical education at our school. I enjoy teaching our students and being part of their physical well-being. 
I am an Undergraduate of Davis & Elkins College, Elkins, W.Va, and graduated from Trenton State College, now TCNJ, in Ewing, NJ.
St Ann School is a gem of a school. It's a small school where I get an opportunity to know every student. The school's administration, staff, PTA, and parents continue to be helpful, friendly and strive to help students reach their potential. Most importantly students are taking steps to be closer to God.

In my free time, I enjoy walking, biking, and swimming, and walking with my two dogs. I also enjoy art, watching movies, and pizza is my favorite food.

If you would like to get in touch with me you may email me at

"For we walk by Faith, not sight."  ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7

The general goals for students in physical education this year are:
 To have fun and develop positive attitudes toward (lifetime) participation in physical activity.
 To perform a range of skills while increasing your knowledge of physical fitness.
 To learn the rules and strategies when playing a game or activity.
 To give one’s best effort, regardless of winning and losing.
 To demonstrate cooperation, positive sportsmanship, maximum effort, and safety while in class.
Generally speaking, students in grade PreK to grade 2 classes will enhance their cardio endurance by participating in locomotor skills, games, and activities involving running, skipping, galloping, sliding, chasing, fleeing, and dodging. These classes will also be introduced to various manipulative skills and activities that involve kicking, punting, dribbling, and volleying a ball.
Grade 3-8 students will be involved in physical activities that involve individual, team, and cooperative tasks.
As a reminder, all students need to wear their PE uniform, tennis shoes or sneakers and socks for PE class. Please bring a note from your parent/guardian if you cannot play PE for the day.
I look forward to working with all students and parents this school year. My motto for this year is: “If you had fun, then you won”.
