Celebrate 10 years of OPEN and #teachershelpingteachers with us this year! Here are more special memories from the last decade of supporting #physed teachers! #OPENPhysEd10years #SHAPEBaltimore
So true @superdanpe! I found myself in many of those sessions and they filled me with joy, wisdom, and laughter!
#shapebaltimore
A6- Hallway conversations and social events ARE a session. National TOY @WellnessClass said: “Connection is the content!” Meeting like minded educators that can help you grow is the reason to attend @SHAPEAmerica #SHAPEBaltimore #SHAPECountdown
It was awesome connecting @BHunterinBmore - when we met at the dinner and took this selfie, you made me feel seen! I appreciate you for helping fill my bucket of joy! #shapebaltimore
Not to mention your 🎤 drop of an acceptance speech 🔥 🙏
The 2025 @SHAPEAmerica District TOY Awards Dinner had so many incredible H/PE/APE teachers!!! 🎆🎇🎆
🤗Got to catch up with @LongviewAPE
🤝 Met @WellnessClass a ‘23 TOY
🎤 It was hosted by @carmelhealth
‼️ Reconnected with my new #SHAPEBaltimore friend @LisaSmithPE

I need a bigger “cup” after attending #SHAPEBaltimore because it has overflown. My 1st Nat’l convention was filled with learning from and alongside great educators. Connections were the highlight of my experience.

🌟 Look how far we've come! 🌟
From 2021 to 2025, our Get On Board program has grown leaps and bounds! 🛹Check out these maps showcasing the states we've reached—what started as a few has now spread across the nation!
Bringing skateboarding to PE classes has been a dream come true, and it’s all thanks to the amazing support of schools, educators, and communities like YOU. 🙌
Here’s to inspiring even more students to get on board in the years ahead! #SkateboardingInPE #PhysEd #PhysicalEducation #MeaningfulPE
Grateful for this connection with @F1rstPush and the opportunity to get students on board 🛹
Thank you for the love and recognition. It was a pleasant surprise seeing the social media post and even cooler opening my 🎁🛹! Shred on!
If don’t know about @F1rstPush, look em up!

Last day of our fundraising to help PE programs in need!! Because of some complications, our community-based efforts haven’t gone as usual. Really hoping to help 4 schools this year, but need help from the PE world! Donate whatever little you can! Go.rallyup.com/aagcb24 #PhysEd
Another example of “build a game”…build a challenge! #PhysEd
Notice the use of pencil and scribbles… let the games evolve as we enjoy the spirit of PLAY!
Your power is your presence and find presence through play!
“Build A Game” in net/wall games. Developing a deeper sense of meaning for students through gameplay creation . Opposed to teaching “regulation” rules. #PhysEd #meaningfulPE
Above is student work and below are pictures from presenting the idea to Ts at @SHAPEVT
Extreme pride in bringing a @SHAPE_America national teacher of year award home to @SHAPEVT
It was my first time presenting in VT since receiving the honors. I felt the love from the @SHAPEVT community by the way they showed up for sessions and took time to talk our passion!
