Happy American Heart Month from WHPE!
Hello Wisconsin Physical Education and Health Professionals!
We have quite a few WHPE members who have been recognized professionally for their work, and will be receiving their honors and awards soon at the SHAPE America National Convention in Boston. Please see the following links about their awards, and be sure to reach out to these members to congratulate them on their efforts. WHPE is so fortunate to have such fabulous, highly qualified educators sharing their passion and energy with students and colleagues throughout Wisconsin. Congratulations and best wishes for a great experience in Boston!
In Health and Wellness,
