We know that these are unprecedented times, and we are working on preparing our students in untraditional ways. For many of you, this entails providing online content for your students. The HAHPERD team decided to put together a webpage that gathers resources into one place to help you plan health and physical activity experiences for your students. Check out the website: http://hahperd.org/At-Home-HPE/PA-Resources if you need some ideas for your At-Home learning experiences.

If you have any more ideas to share, we would love to host them on the site for others to find. Please email us at HAHPERD808@gmail.com.

Aloha,

The HAHPERD Executive Board
