Castle Pines

Elementary (K-5) P. E.

I’m Ms. Mueller, but you can call me Coach M, and I’m thrilled to be starting my second year here at American Academy! Last year was filled with wonderful moments, especially having my sweet daughter, Taylor and growing even closer to our amazing community. Your warm welcome has truly made this an incredible place to work every day.

This year, I’m excited to dive into an engaging physical education program where students will start by learning fundamental movements. We’ll build on these basics, progressing into dynamic game play and cooperative activities. These experiences are designed to enhance not only physical skills but also emotional growth, fostering teamwork and confidence. I can’t wait to see our students thrive and have fun while learning new skills. Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
