The message from Central District this
year is collaboration: We are to work on col-laborative efforts with our neighboring states. This is a fantastic idea and a great way to pool resources. I have invited the presidents in South Dakota and Minnesota
to present at our state meeting, which will occur on September 12 at the University of Mary in Bismarck. We are also inviting you as members to bring your ideas and present to your peers or the future professionals at this meeting. If we could work on collaborative efforts for our regional workshops, both states would benefit not only financially but also professionally. So

continue to submit ideas and move forward with your growth in the profession. Unfortunately, this year’s AAHPERD convention didn’t happen as planned. After much deliberation from the board, they had to cancel the conference (first time ever), and most if not all of the attendees were already in Boston. This doesn’t help AAH-PERD financially, but there’s hope that it won’t be detrimental. There was a lot of support from the attendees, and I was hoping in this article to inform you of their decision on unification. They are continuing to work on that process, but that information will have to wait until the next article. I ask that you continue to work to improve the profession. We have a lot of future professionals coming out of schools and hoping to stay in North Dakota, so we need to promote the profession and try to grow so that these students will have jobs in their future.

On the Home StretchAmy Heuer, Co-Executive Director NDAHPERD
Amy Heuer
Welcome to the last leg of our school year!
Hard to believe we are in our final quarter, and spring has surely arrived. There are several things brewing at NDAHPERD. We are in the process of planning our fall confer-ence at the University of
Mary on Wednesday, September 12. Included in this newsletter you will find a Program Proposal Form. If you are doing something in either physical education or health that you would like to share, please don’t be shy about filling out a proposal. The conference is all about sharing great ideas. Check the website for more information as we
get closer to the end of the school year.I have been lucky to be included on a national
committee to discuss restructuring our national districts. The charge of this committee is to rec-ommend to the AAHPERD governing body any changes in the structure we think are necessary for the success of our districts. Our committee has one representative from each current district, and we have been in the data collection mode so far. If you are a national AAHPERD member, you will be receiving a survey from our group in the near future. Please take the time to answer the short survey because it will help us in form-ing our recommendations.
I wish everyone a great end of the school year and a happy, healthy summer!

Happy Spring!Becky Gunderson, Co-Executive Director of NDAHPERD
Becky Gunderson
Normally, this issue h i g h l i g h t s t h e
CDAAHPERD and AAH-PERD conventions. As I stated in the winter issue, “Attending conferences, summits, meetings, work-shops, conventions are all professional develop-ment opportunities and times where networking
with other professionals happens.” Moving Mountains, One Step at a Time was
the theme of the Central District’s convention in Colorado Springs February 2 to 4, 2012. New activities were learned, networks were started or added to, business was attended to, and new friends were made. I attended a day-long class to become a basic archery instructor with the National Archery in the Schools Program, was elected to serve as Central District’s VP-elect of dance, and led a session on dances to celebrate the holidays. My personal highlight was winning the best costume for the 1960 and ’70s at the Mark Harvey Tribute Dance Through the Decades.
Boston was teeming with history, culture, sport, and diversity at the 127th AAHPERD National Convention and Exposition United We Move, March 13 to 17, 2012. Unfortunately, the convention was cancelled because of the Boston Back Bay Blackout that left 20,000 customers
with no power. Two of those customers were the Sheraton Hotel (the convention headquarters) and the Hynes Convention Center. Sessions and meetings were held on Tuesday, and then the power went out on Tuesday evening. A few meet-ings were held on Wednesday (with emergency power), but no sessions were held. On Thursday, NASPE and AAHPERD held general sessions with emergency power. By Thursday afternoon, it was announced that the convention would be cancelled. Most of us were just in shock, but truly understood that it was in the interest of our health. Besides having more time to sightsee, I did have a few convention highlights. I was privileged to

Down but Not Out in BostonKelsey Bryantt, Minot State Student (NDAHPERD Student Delegate at AAHPERD)
My first AAHPERD convention is sure to be a memorable one. Because of a power outage
in downtown Boston that occurred right after I arrived, the conference was cancelled. Although I was unable to attend the conference, there is still much that I can take away from the trip.
The first thing I noticed was how enthusiastic everyone was to be there. It was fun to be around people who were passionate about physical education and all that surrounds it. Professionals, educators, and students were excited to network, share ideas, and grow professionally. It’s not every day that you are surrounded by people who love what they do as much as you do.
Fortunately, though, NASPE’s Major of the Year Ceremony still took place. I was able to receive my award representing Minot State University for physi-cal education. It was great to meet and network with undergrad students from all over the nation.
The power outage also left plenty of time for some sightseeing in Boston. The first place I took off to was Fenway Park, the historic ballpark of the Boston Red Sox. Other highlights included the Cheers pub from the TV sitcom, the Freedom Trail, and dinner in Boston’s cobblestone streets of Little Italy.
Fenway: Visiting Fenway Park during some of my sightseeing adventures.
Although my first convention didn’t go as planned, I got a glimpse of all an AAHPERD convention can offer. There seemed to be a wealth of opportunities for professional growth and learning. It just makes me that much more excited for next year!

I am the one. So many years ago when I partici-pated in physical education classes, I was the
one. I was the one student who loved physical education more than any other class. I was the one student who was able to perform the motor skills with very little instruction or practice. I was the one who could win the races and throw the farthest and fastest. I was the one who would race to the centerline and grab those dodgeballs before others could get to them. I was the one who would charge the centerline and throw with all my might at any student who might be in my line of fire. I was the one selected to be team captain, and I was the one who would pick the strongest, fastest, most skilled students to be on my team. Yes, I was the one.
Not so many years ago I was the one who would roll out the dodgeballs on Friday. Isn’t it standard practice to play dodgeball every Friday? I was the one who would allow team captains to select team members from the class. I was the one who would laugh, joke around with, and focus my attention on those in my class who were more skilled and physically talented. I was the one who would call out students’ names and expect them to report their fitness test scores to me in front of the entire class. I was the one who would count the push-ups and sit-ups being done and make a student repeat the skills if the student failed to do exactly the amount I had ordered. Yes, I was the one.

Be the One!Submitted (with permission) by Tami Doppler, NDAHPERD Secretary, Written by Joyce Ellis, Central District Past-President
Then I became the one. I became the one who realized that what I was doing was wrong and that I needed to make some changes. I was the one who became active in my professional organiza-tion and began to learn about the new practices and the appropriate methods of teaching. I was the one who decided to make some professional changes in my life. I was the one who was finally beginning to see the big picture and understand the importance of developmentally appropriate activities and teaching methods. Yes, I was the one.
Over the past three years I have been the one who has made a concentrated effort to enhance my own fitness. I have dedicated myself to par-ticipating in a program called Boot Camp. This fitness program has been wonderful for me . . . but as a participant I have become the one. Because I am older than most of the participants, I am now the one who is slowest and often last to complete the required exercise. I am the one who struggles at completing the required number of push-ups or sit-ups. I am the one who can’t run or jump as I once did. Sometimes on Fridays we play dodgeball. I am the one who is picked last. I am the one who is eliminated first. I am the one who is hiding the hurt associated with being last. Yes, I am the one.
Most important, I am the one who has now realized the pain that some children are forced to endure. I am the one who has fought to hold back the tears of disappointment and hurt. Now I
am the one who has dedicated my life to chang-ing the way physical education teachers are trained. I am the one who has decided to make a difference. I am the one who will make sure that every physical education teacher education student I touch will understand the pain that so many children endure. I am the one who will step up and make a change.
Have you been the one? Are you the one? Will you be the one? You do not have to wait until you are as old, slow, and physically challenged as I am to understand the pain that goes with being identified as the one. I challenge you to become the one. Become the one who will make a difference. Become the one who will stop these inappropriate practices and allow all children to participate at their own level. Become the one
who will make physical education an enjoy-able experience for every child, regardless of individual physical characteristics. Become the one who will eliminate games such as dodgeball, stop allowing captains to choose teams, eliminate fitness testing in front of everyone, and eliminate the concept of one standard for all students.
Be the one who gets involved in your profes-sional organization. Be the one who sets the example for your students and their parents. Be the one who leads your fellow professionals. Be the one who is willing to learn new activities and try new things. Be the one who makes every child smile and feel competent. Be the one every other teacher in your building comes to when they are looking for activities they can integrate into their classroom. Be the one who accepts this challenge and shares it with others.
I challenge you to be the one!

Jump Rope for Heart: A Great Success
At our previous board meeting, we discussed how successful our schools were in raising
money for the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart campaign. My fellow board members suggested that I write my article for this month’s newsletter on how my students were so successful because they had raised the highest amount.As you may know, the American Heart Association asks physical education teachers to get their students involved in their fundraising campaign to raise awareness of heart disease and garner donations that can be put toward research and educational programs. I have been incorporating the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser into my lessons, and this year’s total has been the highest amount raised by my students yet: $5,272.00. I am so proud of my students and it is a great success for such a small school.
As a physical education teacher, I take this chance to teach my students the importance of the heart and how physical activity such as basketball and jumping rope can help keep the heart strong. I stress to my students to value their bodies by eating well and exercising, because together these will help keep the heart healthier. Here are a few things I do that make our fund-raiser successful:
• I incorporate the fundraiser into my two- to three-week-long rope-jumping unit.
• I follow a few of my favorite suggestions from the American Heart Association, including the parent letter with the enve-lope.
• I reward the students in each class who work the hardest during the unit and the student in each class who raises the most donations.
The American Heart Association provides a lot of great suggestions and information—so much that I find it almost overwhelming—so I choose a couple lesson plans and promotional ideas each year that I think the kids will enjoy the most. A few of the lessons I chose this year are how the heart works, understanding the nutri-tion label, how to make healthier food choices, and what diabetes is and how to reduce their chances of developing it. Toward the end of the unit, I begin to reward the hardest-working students and students with the most creative chants, routines, or tricks by letting them be the assistant teachers for a day, or I let them choose a quick activity that their class can play for the last 10 to 15 minutes. These things motivate the students to work hard during the unit. When a student earns the privilege of being a teacher’s assistant, they get to dress like the PE teacher (with a whistle and sweatshirt), and they give the directions to their classmates after I quietly tell
that student what to say. Both the student and the class think this is comical. My event day is also the last day of my jump rope unit, and the packets must be turned in on that day. The elementary teachers also help me by reminding their students to bring their packets in on this day, and I also have to reschedule some of my high school classes so that I can fit all of my elementary physical education classes in on this one day. This is an all-out fun day where the students continuously jump rope during class and show off all of their skills that they learned throughout the unit while they move from station to station. As the students return to their class-rooms, they get to sign and decorate the T-shirt that the American Heart Association gave me.

As a student in the physical education
program at the University of Mary, I am delighted to have a chance to express what we are doing. I am a senior this year as well as an active member in the Physical Education Club (UMPHERD). UMPHERD’s members as well as our
advisor, Rachel Johnson-Krug, plan many com-munity service events throughout the school year. This year we helped out at the Sunrise Family Fitness Night, which was a success. All members of UMPHERD helped organize stations in which students from Sunrise Elementary came to play. It’s an amazing feeling to help out in what we are pursuing as a profession. We also helped with the Apple Dash right away at the beginning of the school and all had a blast! I am hoping that with the school year we can expand our services to the community in whatever way we can and get more involved. In leaving school this year, I hope that we can get more involved with the YMCA and their Itty Bitty Sports program as well as other schools and organizations. I truly believe that by exposing ourselves we can make a difference and only broaden our skills as future physical education teachers.

Patriot Pride is a program in the May-PortCG school district that encourages sportsman-
ship, team spirit, and school unity. Groups or organizations in the school district can choose an extracurricular activity that they want to lead the fans in showing their Patriot pride. The students of Peter Boe Jr. Elementary in Mayville showed their school spirit on Friday, February 3, during the Patriot basketball game against the Thompson Tommies. A section of the bleachers during the girls’ and boys’ varsity games was reserved for the elementary students to help in leading the fans in vari-

ous cheers and the school song. At halftime during the boys’ varsity game the students performed a routine to the Beach Boys’ “Be True to Your School.” The routine involved the fifth-graders jumping rope, the fourth-graders hula-hooping, the third-graders using rhythmic ribbons, and students in kindergarten through second grade using pom-poms. Mrs. Kainz, their physical education instructor, led them in their performance. It was a very fun evening for all and one that is sure to be repeated in the future.
We all know the importance of advocacy, but sometimes we get too busy doing what we
are passionate about to tell others about what we are doing. In some way we share the common goal of getting people to live a more active and healthy lifestyle. We know the facts: Our nation is becoming more and more unhealthy with each passing year. We can and should make a difference! Sometimes all it takes is sharing our passion with others and becoming more visible in our communities. We have a perfect opportunity

to do just that. May 1 to 7 is National Physical Education and Sport Week, a perfect time to let people in our schools and communities know just how important our work is to the health and well-being of young people. Therefore, I chal-lenge you to plan some kind of event during that week to celebrate physical education and sport. It doesn’t have to be big to have a big impact.

one another; when these components are imple-mented, the entire school environment is affected.
The CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) program K-5 will be the basis for the course, and the first 24 registrants will receive a free CATCH Kids Club K-5 manual focusing on nutrition education, physical activity, and reduc-tion of screen time. There is also an activity box, which is filled with more than 450 short lessons on healthy eating along with a physical education component. If you are taking this course for a graduate credit, you will receive the book Smart Moves by Carla Hannaford, PhD. Some lessons will be covered from this book, which shows how Brain Gym, a system of physical movements and exercises, enhances brain function. This system is based on scientifically established neurophysi-ological functions and how both children and adults can use it in overcoming learning difficulties and improving general brain functions related
to learning, coordination, communication, and physical performance. The physical activity component has four objectives:
• Involve students in at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity outside of recess and physical education classes.
• Involve students in moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 40% of the daily physical activity time.
• Provide students with many opportunities to participate and practice movements.
• Provide students with a variety of enjoy-able physical activities.
• Instructor: Tami Doppler • Instructor of record: Judy Thomson
Information on registration and graduate credit options will be posted at a later date.

serve on the National Dance Association com-mittee to select the National Dance Teacher of the Year for K-12. At one of the general sessions held in emergency power, I listened to Dr. Ken-neth Cooper, founder and chairman of Cooper Aerobics Center. Dr. Cooper published his first best-seller, Aerobics, in 1968, introducing a new word and launching a worldwide fitness revolu-tion. Says Cooper, “It was time for Americans to get our head out of the sand and have a lifestyle change.” During the aerobics boom from 1968 to 1990, heart attacks decreased by 48%. Cur-rently, heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women, and childhood obesity is on the rise. It is time to make that change, and we can make it happen. In Brazil, they refer to aerobics-type exercises as “Cooper.” Have you done your Cooper today?
As I said in the winter issue, I realize that many of you cannot get professional time off or funding to attend the CDAHPERD or AAHPERD conventions. That is where we, as the NDAH-PERD board, can help. We are always looking at presenters to bring into our state convention who will meet your needs. However, we need input from you about who you would like. The fall NDAHPERD state convention is being planned for September 12 in Bismarck. Please let your executive directors or any board member know of the presenters or topics that you would find most helpful as you grow professionally.
NDAHPERDSocial—An impromptu NDAHPERD social was held in President Brad Strand’s suite on Friday (power was finally back on).

Jump Rope for Heart: Continued from page 7
I hope that my students’ success in the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser this year motivates you all to participate in it next year if you don’t already. This is a great way to promote physical activity and awareness of heart disease.

Most of us are good at brushing our teeth, but are we good at brushing our gums? The
gum line is often where tooth decay and disease start. For better brushing, move the brush from the tooth surface to the space where the gum and tooth meet. Hold the brush at an angle as opposed to flat against the tooth. It should feel as if you are brushing mostly the gum.
You will have cleaner teeth and healthier gums. And who doesn’t want that? Happy brushing!
