What a year '24-'25 has been!
Connecting w/ #Physed & #AdaptedPE peers was the highlight for me.
This #SHAPEBaltimore selfie recap is a small sample of the folks I connected with. Please know if we interacted it matters to me & I value the exchange.
Enjoy the summer!
First @baltcityschools.bsky.social #Physed / #AdaptedPE PD session since #SHAPEBaltimore and @gmeehle.bsky.social
and @KLKetterer took the time to recognize me as
@shapeamerica.bsky.social APE Teacher of the Year with a mini APE bucket!
It was beyond thoughtful!
After the amazing experience I had w/ so many of you at #SHAPEBaltimore I wanted to archive the memories made over those 4 days somehwere other than on a hard drive. So, I created this mosiac
Pretty happy with it, but even happier with the moments it represents.

When presenting at #SHAPEBaltimore on "Why We All Need an #AdaptedPE Bucket" the focus was for attendees to return home with ideas for where to start & the inspiration to start building their own APE bucket.
When I receive messages like this, it makes my month!

Still sorting through, and receiving (thank you if you have shared) pictures from last week's Closing Ceremony at the
@shapeamerica.bsky.social #SHAPEBaltimore convention.
Celebrating in the moment w/ family & co-workers in my town, amazing! There is a lot of joy in that 2nd to last picture!
Frustratingly I didn't get to spend any quality time with the awesome people at @candorhealthed.bsky.social last week in #SHAPEBaltimore. They have shared MANY #microblog posts over the past few years, including this powerful post: slowchathealth.com/2024/05/17/o...
It was great finally meeting @rayostrowskipe.bsky.social last week at #SHAPEBaltimore. He's a regular contributor the the #microblog event on #slowchathealth. In this post he shares his journey with experiential learning and Adventure education.

I’m still mentally recovering from #SHAPEBaltimore and although I had many great connection I mistakenly didn’t take enough pictures. I was so caught up with the experience I forgot. The sessions were great but the people made my time the most rewarding!
It’s feeling a little empty. There was a time when I was inspired by much of what I saw over on the other place. But maybe we’ve all changed. The world has changed.
Face to face meetings with folks at #SHAPEBaltimore was refreshing.
What a time we had @shapeamerica.bsky.social
#SHAPEBaltimore was about the🧑🤝🧑 I met, connected with, & shared an experience with. To that end I took more selfies in 4 days than in the last 4 years! Enjoy.
