Dear Parents and Guardians, 

Our goal in physical education is for everyone to learn to make healthy choices and feel successful when participating in a variety of activities. This enables students to develop a positive attitude toward physical activity and develop healthy habits, which will hopefully continue throughout their lives. 

This is my 12th year at Taylor Middle School and my 22nd year in the Taylor Independent School District. Before my arrival in Taylor, I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Southwest Texas State University.

I anticipate a great school year in Physical Education with your child! Your help and cooperation is vital to the success of our physical education program. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch with me at school by phone (512-352-2815) or e-mail at talavera@taylorisd.org.

Sincerely,

Armando Talavera M.Ed.
Taylor Middle School
