WHPE July Update
Building Strong Connections: Educate. Engage. Advocate
Summer Greetings from WHPE!
Hello Wisconsin Physical Education and Health Professionals!
We hope you all have been enjoying having time to travel, read, swim, run, bike, garden, listening to live summer entertainment, and all the other great activities that summer has to offer while being with friends and family.
Enjoy the time to rejuvenate, and when you are ready, enjoy the extra time summer affords us to think about what changes you would like to make to your HPE program this coming year. Check out Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and other professional development opportunities to re-energize your program.
I can't wait to attend Best Practices in HPE next week and to see all the great presentations that Eileen Hare and WI DPI has set up! Best Practices in Health and Physical Education will take place July 18th-20th in Stevens Point. See the link below for more information! I hope to see many of you there!
Make the most of the remainder of your summer...enjoy it while you can! :)
In Health and Wellness,
Patty Kestell
