WHPE March Update
Building Strong Connections: Educate. Engage. Advocate
Happy Spring from WHPE! Enjoy SHAPE America Convention Highlights!
Hello Wisconsin Physical Education and Health Professionals!
Happy first week of Spring! We are getting closer to the days we can get outside more with our PE classes, and enjoy a few more hours of sunshine as the days get longer!
Many of you will be having Spring Break soon! Enjoy the time to rejuvenate and relax before we close out the year.
The SHAPE America Convention in Boston was such a great week, filled with top notch professional development and even better networking with HPE colleagues, presenters, and Keynote Speakers who are passionate about our profession and the mission behind why we teach.
Wisconsin has so much to be proud about, since multiple people were honored for their hard work and dedication to our field. Please see the photos and links below for more information about these awesome professionals!
I have also shared the Keynote Presentations from the SHAPE America Facebook page for you to watch. Enjoy them and share them with your colleagues!
In Health and Wellness,
Patty Kestell
WHPE President 2016-2018

Thank You to all WI JRFH and HFH Coordinators!
