Greetings!
I hope you are enjoying the beginning of your school year. It is always fun to see everyone's back-to-school posts and excitement for teaching.
As a reminder, CAHPERD depends on membership dues and conference registration fees to operate throughout the year. Like most organizations, we too have seen drops in our membership renewals. We hope you will help us by renewing your membership today and inviting someone to join our organization.

Keith Johannes Honor Award |
It should be of no surprise that the CAHPERD Board of Directors voted to recognize the achievements and professional contributions of Past President Keith Johannes by renaming the Honor Award the Keith Johannes Honor Award.
Keith Johannes began his teaching career in 1964 at Willard Junior High in the Santa Ana Unified School District. He has served CAHPERD in many roles, beginning as President of what was known as Unit 409 in Orange County. Keith became Southern District Coordinator, VP of Physical Education, and Representative for Region 46. He has served on the State Council for Adapted Physical Education (SCAPE), was Chair of the House of Regions, and was elected President of CAHPERD in 2006. He later served as Chair of the Retired Members Section, and also chaired the Legislative Committee for 12 consecutive years.
Keith has been a member of CAHPERD since 1966. His inspiring dedication to volunteer service and leadership is deserving of the distinction to have his accomplishments remembered and honored with the naming of this award.
Please join us in Santa Clara to learn more about Keith Johannes and nominate someone for this and/or one of our many awards found on our website.
