As Past-president of WVAHPERD and this year’s Conference Coordinator, I join President Aleta Jo Crotty, President-Elect Keith Bowling, Executive Director Sue Long, and the entire WVAHPERD leadership team in welcoming you to this wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues. We are fortunate to be hosting this year’s event at one of the best conference facilities in West Virginia, Flatwoods Conference Center.

The action starts on Thursday, October 30th with our pre-conference Young Professional’s and Higher Education Professional’s Workshops. Our pre-service teachers will benefit from their engagement in a variety of activity learning opportunities addressing hiring practices in schools, liability and negligence, safety and concussions, common core and technology, and physical activity breakout sessions. Our college/university faculty will focus their attention on best practices in online and blended learning. On Friday, October 31st attention shifts to our in-service professionals with a full agenda of concurrent lecture and physical activity sessions. There is something for everyone in our program this year with presentation topics including pre-service teacher training, creating inclusive teaching and learning environments, online health education, social media use, assessment, and a host of gymnasium ready activity ideas. Be sure to mark the scheduled general sessions which target some of the most important challenges confronting our field: school-wide physical activity, instructional technology use, standardsbased curriculum, instructional models in physical education, and common core. Stop by the exhibitor’s booths in the Conference Center Lobby to chat with our vendors and be sure to make it to the Exhibitor’s Gala which is scheduled for 4:30 PM!

The JRFH and HFH programs combat heart disease, stroke, and childhood obesity through school-based fundraising events. The proceeds benefit individuals who need advanced cardiac care while also furthering related research. In addition to serving as important national and state fundraising opportunities, these valuable programs promote physical activity, heart healthy living, and community service. Each year in West Virginia, participating schools raise money on behalf of the American Heart Association. This measure of success could not be achieved without the personal commitment and professional excellence of the JRFH/HFH school coordinators. So please accept our sincere thanks on behalf of WVAHPERD. Please know that our members and the communities we serve truly appreciate your efforts. At the same time we celebrate past accomplishments, we look forward to another successful year of JRFH and HFH within our schools.

Physical Education K-5: In grades Kindergarten-5, not less than 30 minutes of physical education, including physical exercise and age appropriate physical activities, for not less than three days a week shall be provided as per W. Va. Code §18-2-7a. At least 50 percent of class time for physical education will be spent in moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity. Physical Activity K-5: In grades Kindergarten-5 physical activity in the form of recess or informal physical activity will be provided for no fewer than 30 minutes daily for all students. Physical Activity 6-8: Middle schools should recognize that healthy lifestyles and academic success are tightly interwoven. Therefore, schools should promote wellness activities that extend beyond the course requirements for physical education and health. This may be accomplished through programs that focus on skill development, sportsmanship and teamwork. Opportunities will be provided for 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous integrated physical activity daily to keep middle grades students physically active throughout the school year. Wellness education should target the widespread behaviors that undermine the health and resulting capacity for personal success during adolescence. Physical Education 6-8: In grades 6-8, not less than one full period of physical education, including physical exercise and age appropriate physical activities, each school day of one semester of the school year shall be provided as per W. Va. Code §18-2-7a. At least 50 percent of class time for physical education will be spent in moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity. Schools not having the number of certified physical education teachers or required physical setting may develop alternate programs that will enable current staff and physical settings to be used to meet the physical education requirements. Alternate programs shall be submitted to the WVDE and the Healthy Lifestyle Council for approval. Page 26 West Virginia is the first state to have at least one school in every county registered as a Let’s Move Active School! This distinction reflects our member’s ongoing commitment to quality physical education and school-wide physical activity. Congratulations West Virginia!!!
