SHAPE America’s “Send a Teacher” initiative highlights the important role that health and physical education can play in the lives of students. This initiative was conceptualized by Andy Milne, SHAPE America’s 2017 National Health Education Teacher of the Year. Grant recipients receive a full registration to the 2023 National Convention & Expo in Seattle and a one-year SHAPE America Select membership.
Congratulations to our 2023 grant recipients, who were selected from more than 100 applicants nationwide!
