Dear Health and Physical Education Colleagues,
Have you conducted a Jump Rope or Hoops for Heart program in your school district? All Jump Rope For Heart and Hoops for Heart coordinators who have held an event within the past year are eligible to apply for the AAHPERD JRFH/HFH Grant. Wisconsin has been fortunate to have many educators receive this award in the past several years!
AAHPERD strives to give back to those who are dedicated to Jump Rope For Heart and Hoops for Heart and has developed this Grant Program to reward the passion and commitment of coordinators across the country.
Grant recipients will receive a cumulative $2,500 grant; $1,300 of these funds will support professional development, including a one-year AAHPERD membership (if the member is not a current AAHPERD member), AAHPERD National Convention registration, and expenses associated with travel to the Convention. The remaining $1,200 will be given to the recipient in the form of a US Games gift certificate redeemable for equipment to enhance his/her physical education program.
Recipients will also receive the AAHPERD Standards Package which includes: Moving into the Future: NASPE Standards for Physical Education, AAHE Health Education Standards, and NDA Dance Education Standards.
Recipients must write one article for The Pulse newsletter. Previous winners may reapply in three years; however priority will be given to new applicants.
Please read the proposal that is attached for more information. All grant applications must be received by October 14, 2011.
Take advantage of a great opportunity and submit your proposal!
