Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie Attend the NYS AHPERD Conference!

Hi everyone,

We have been with Mrs. R. lately going to some different Physical Education Conferences!  We had a great time and met so many new friends!  The biggest one we went to was the New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance annual conference!  There were so many people there!  Most of them were PE teachers just like Mrs. R.  Guess what? Mrs. C. from Healthy Highway was there too and she brought Baking Bella with her!  Mrs. R. and Mrs. C. presented a session together about Healthy Highway and she introduced us!  We spent some time with Baking Bella at the Healthy Highway booth and many people came by to learn

about the program.  We were happy to help!
Mrs. R. also took us to some of the activity sessions!  You see, at this conference, teachers come together to share ideas so that they can become better teachers!  I guess adults learn even when they are finished with school!  We learned some new parachute ideas, some new dance steps, and even a few new games!  You'll never believe who else was at the conference!  Peter and Paul from Homespun Dance!  George was busy so there was another terrific musician playing the banjo instead!  They were happy to see us at their session!  They actually remembered us!

On Friday morning, we went to a special Jump Rope for Heart meeting. It was a very important meeting and we got to be "Heart Ambassadors"!  "Heart Ambassadors" help others learn about how to have healthy hearts and how to participate in Jump Rope for Heart!  I think we are up to the task!  

Friday night was VERY special because we got to go to the Jay B. Nash Awards dinner.  Mrs. R.'s family and friends were there to help her celebrate an award that she was getting!  We had silver ribbons on to celebrate!  We had a great time!  You can view a slideshow of our adventure by clicking here.  
We are ready to get back to North Park and continue along the Healthy Highway!  We are having just one terrific adventure after another!

We LOVE Healthy Highway!  

Love, Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie
