PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Hello! My name is Gwen Allen and I am the P.E. teacher for Buffalo Gap Elementary. This will be my 32nd year in education, and my 27th year at Jim Ned. I received my education degree in 1989 from McMurry University. I am certified in All-Level Physical Education and in Elementary Education.
I have been married for 35 years to my husband Ron, and we have lived in the Jim Ned community for the past 27 years. We have three grown children who are all graduates of Jim Ned. Our daughter, Ashley (2004), and her husband, Lance Huston, live in South Dakota and are stationed at Ellsworth AFB. They have three children: Oakley, Tatum and Laylah Huston. Our daughter, Haylee (2006), and her husband, Byron Rogers, reside in Abilene with their three daughters: Jensen, Ellisen, and Lizzie Rogers. Our son, Blake (2010), lives in Tuscola and is a teacher/coach at Jim Ned High School.
In P.E., our students learn new skills, improve on fitness, and expend energy through various activities such as games, exercises, station work, etc. It is my goal that each child will develop fitness habits that will last a lifetime!
