Thank you to everyone who came out for camp this week. It was such a great time.

Great day at #STLHPE2022 with so many amazing Ts learning about purposeful movement @OPENPhysEd. Thank you @Salsmagoo @edjmatt for giving me the opportunity to present @GooseChaseEDU @MOSHAPE1! Can’t wait to see everyone build community (wingman) #TopGun style!

We had an electric time at PD today! 🎶 Teachers, counselors, and support staff from all departments joined in on the fun as we wrapped up our dance unit with a mini teacher tutorial. Thankful for this community! #everymomentcounts @newsfromNEMS

Now through the end of February, Coming Up Next will feature (in no particular order) pre-season breakdowns of St. Louis area high school teams we believe are strong contenders to win a state championship. First up: Parkway West Longhorns (@pwestbaseball) upandcomingbaseball.com/2022/02/08/sea…

Due to severe weather, all Parkway schools and district offices will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, February 3. Students will not have school and there will be no virtual learning. All athletic events and activities; Adventure Club & Community Education classes are also canceled.

Enjoyed reading this book by @Lee_Sullivan85. Highly recommend for physical educators looking to make meaningful changes in their PE programs. Check out this podcast from @clelandlewis94 and @burrell_mr to gain more insight on Mr. Sullivan’s work. #PhysEd
