Papillion Jr. High offers a program by the name of PEOPLE P.E. This program is an adapted P.E. program for those with special needs. They meet daily during second hour and enjoy playing modified versions of team sports. They also play activities such as parachute, scooters, ring toss, scoops, and wiffle ball. The PEOPLE P.E. program uses dyna-bands as well as small hand weights to build strength. During class, a specialized version of "aerobics" is done to the favorite songs of the students. Currently, the program has nine students and four ninth grade student aides. These aides were hand selected by Mrs. Hunsley last year after reviewing the letters written explaining why he or she would be a contribution to the program. The paraprofessionals that assist with the class are Mrs. Edgar and Mrs. Larry along with the class instructor, Mrs. Hunsley.
