August/September 2025

Hi everyone! Welcome to my Physical Education Smore Page.

My name is Keith Doody and this year I will be teaching Physical Education at Northwood, Oak Ridge, and Upton Elementary. This is my 18th year teaching Physical Education with 12 of those years in Royal Oak. Along with teaching Physical Education, I am the district curriculum coordinator for PE/Health. Outside of teaching, I am a premier coach for Royal Oak Football Club and own a small business called Soccer Moms Yard Signs. My wife Andrea and I have three daughters named Chloe, Abby, and Ella. Chloe is an 8th grader at ROMS, Abby is a 6th grader at ROMS, and Ella is in 1st grade at Northwood. As a family, we love to travel! Here are a few pictures of some of the places we went to over the summer.

Northwood - All Classes

Oak Ridge - Tuesday Leman, Karczewski, Donnellon, Smith, Esbri, Fanning, Swaze, Mann, Snavely, Doody. Thursday - Snavely, Forsyth

Upton - Carey

Please have your child wear proper shoes on gym days. No crocks, sandals, slides, boots, or dress shoes. Athletic shoes are best!!

Congrats to our students at Northwood for breaking SEVEN records this past year. Breaking a record has become increasingly challenging and it's great to see so many students getting on the record board this year.

Hailey Machalak 1/2 mile run 2:52

Hailey Machalak 50 yd dash 6.95

Owen Petrovski 50 yd dash 6.70

Liam Quinn Standing Long Jump 6'10"

Lance Campbell One Min Jump Rope 171

Sadie Jones Shuttle Run Relay 9.43

Lucas Prout One Min Basketball shoot 33

This record board allows us to post the top scores/times for our boys and girls on a yearly basis. The records will restart once we conduct an event during the next school year. This is another motivator for the students to go all out and reach for their best. Thanks to the PTA for financing the board!

Students K-2 have been working hard on developing their basic locomotors such as hopping, jumping, skipping, and galloping. They have also been working on their muscular strength by doing bear crawls and crab walks.

I start every DK-K class with the Snake Song. It's a fantastic way to get the kids moving and smiling in class. Highly recommend if you have young ones at home.

Students in grades K-5 have been working on their cardiovascular endurance and cooperation skills in a variety of tag games to start the new year.

Leap the Creek is great build up game to striking a soccer ball. Students must leap the creek without landing inside the creek.
