April Showers (Snow Falls) Brings Snow Plowers!
Hello Wisconsin Health and Physical Education Professionals!
The weather this month in Wisconsin has certainly lead to some interesting conversations across the state. Those in the northern/northeastern part of Wisconsin, you got a heck of a lot of snow! Wow! While we did not get nearly as much as you did, the southern part of the state also got hit this past week, delaying many spring sports and outdoor activities for PE. Did any of you pull your snowshoes, cross country skis and sleds out again?! With temperatures expected to climb in the next week, hopefully we will thaw out soon, and can enjoy some outdoor activities with our students.
This last quarter or semester of school and university courses goes quickly. There always seems to be so much that we want to wrap up in a short amount of time. Enjoy these last couple of months, teaching, learning and growing as future professionals, educators, and health or wellness professionals.
In Health and Wellness,
Patty Kestell
