I enjoy working to introduce diverse populations to physical activity. I 've been teaching health and physical education in Virginia for 27 years.

Wrapped up our 2025 Pumpkin Chunkin’ tournament and even though my trunk was packed to the brim and you could catch me rollin’ dirty down the halls, there was something for all abilities to be successful in chucking a pumpkin!🎃💨

NEW INFOGRAPHIC: Ditch the Laps. Protect the Joy of Movement.

SHAPE America asserts that withholding physical activity and physical education as punishment — or using exercise as discipline — is inappropriate and counter to best practice.

Originally called Decoration Day, Black Americans interred the bodies of fallen Union soldiers to honor their sacrifice — now known as Memorial Day. Decades later, my great-grandfather served our nation in WWI. Then my grandfather took post in WWII and the Korean War. Today and every day, I honor their sacrifice by fighting for rights they were denied in a country they loved, knowing freedom will prevail if we refuse to give up the battle.

I would love to use this format for women for middle school girls. I know this could provide healing for girls (12-15) too.

Love this. Why music is so important. #adaptedpe. #physed Music is also therapy. Wow if not for music meditation, dance, Zumba, exercise motivation, learn rhythms, social skills at those dances & proms. We don’t live a day without music in our lives. @RockCreekFCPSPE & Colin
