It’s important to remember that professional CAHPERD members are entitled to “early bird” pricing through December 10th. Rates will increase slightly after that date, and the final deadline for pre-registration is February 4th. Just log in to your CAHPERD account to register online or, if it's more convenient, submit the pre-registration form by email attachment. Of course, snail mail and fax options are also available, and directions are provided on the form.
If you will need hotel accommodations, we urge you to secure reservations as soon as possible. A simple click will direct you to the dedicated reservation system for the Los Angeles Airport Marriott. There are a limited number of rooms available at our exceptional group rate of $134+tax, and we expect that they will fill up within the next few weeks.
Be sure to mark your calendar for March 3-5 and plan to join us for this premier professional development event! You won't want to miss it!

The CAHPERD Bylaws allow for one member, one vote, and all eligible members will have an opportunity to cast a ballot in the 2022 election!
The slate of nominees will soon be posted to the CAHPERD website, along with biographical statements for the candidates. Write in nominations are also acceptable, contingent on current membership status and submission of the CAHPERD "Agreement to Serve."
Official elections will take place during the CAHPERD Conference in March. Members will also be offered the option of submitting an Absentee Ballot. The ballot will soon be sent to all members, along with instructions for proper submission.
We appreciate your active involvement in this process!

As a result of recent changes to the organizational structure, CAHPERD is now functioning with Councils, representing various interest areas. Those interest areas currently include Health Education, Physical Education (Secondary and Elementary), Dance, Interscholastic Athletics, Adapted PE, Higher Education, Leadership & Administration, Diversity & Social Justice, Future Professionals (Students) and Retired Members.
Council leaders have been conducting virtual meetings throughout the fall and will also host in person meetings at the upcoming conference. We hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to join the conversations and provide input! After all, we are BETTER TOGETHER!
If you are interested in leadership opportunities in any of the above-named Councils, please contact the CAHPERD office. Our Association is only as good as the officers who lead us, so we ask that you consider joining the team, and/or nominating your colleagues who are qualified and interested in helping CAHPERD grow and prosper.

Health. Moves. Minds.
How Can Your School Benefit?
|
The health. moves. minds. program is a service-learning program unlike any other! It combines educational objectives while giving back to the school and/or community. The program allows schools to address mental health topics through physical activity, in a school-wide setting, fostering stronger unity and support within a student's network of peers. |
|
|
Social and emotional learning is embedded in the program’s standards-based lessons, activities, and community-building ideas. With the many challenges students are facing, their social and emotional health is of utmost importance, and this program teaches them the essential skills they need.
SHAPE America provides teacher-friendly, student-friendly resources that have a strong focus on equity, diversity and inclusion, creating adaptable resources for your school and classroom needs. Complete program materials are provided for teachers and students in grades K-12, including full length lessons, supplementary materials, and assessment tools.
You do not need to be a member of SHAPE America to access the SEL focused, standards-based curriculum or lead an event that has an optional fundraising component to provide giveback of 50% of the funds you raise for new health and physical education equipment for your school.
The BEST thing about the program is the curriculum and resources available to all who sign up! We are excited about the theme this year – “POWered by Kindness” – and we hope you will join us! Find all the details at www.healthmovesminds.org.
Set the tone of your school with these four words:
kindness, mindfulness, empowerment and wellness!
