President’s Message…
Hello everyone! I hope your 2013-2014 school
year is off to a good start. My theme for the year
has been “LET’S MOVE ArkAHPERD”. We
have done a lot of moving forward. I am so proud
of our ArkAHPERD executive officers and
board. They have stepped up to look at how our
organization can MOVE IT in the right direction
and be more efficient.
At our 2013 Convention in Little Rock on Nov.
7-8 at the Embassy Suites we are excited about
our program and our future.
You will begin to see our new website; we are
streamlining our divisions, sections, job
responsibilities, and adding a chief financial
advisor so that we will have a better checks and
balance system in our organization. We have
added a Silent Auction chair Valerie Hilson from
Arkansas State University as an additional board
member. When your board is excited about
making these changes…we hope you will too.
I encourage you to continue working in your
school and your district to make aware of the need
for quality health and physical education. The
data supports our initiatives. I encourage you to
stay current with the latest changes and directions
in our professions.
Yes I said OUR professions… We need each
other….we need to support each other…..and
continue the fight for quality physical and health
education. I and many others will NEVER GIVE
UP!
Help ArkAHPERD Move It!
Sincerely,
Bennie Prince
Executive Director’s Message…
Greetings from the ArkAHPERD home office.
It has been an honor to once again serve as your
Executive Director. I have had the pleasure of
working with ArkAHPERD, Southern District
and National AAHPERD leaders in the
unification process of our national organization.
Your 2013 Alliance Assembly voted to unify the
AAHPERD organization. The intent is to bring
the national organization together and focus on
strategic areas of interest within our profession.
AAHPERD can now shift its focus from
structural challenges to addressing issues such as
obesity and inclusion of PE in the school setting.
The new AAHPERD will strive to spend time
and resources on issues relevant to physical
education and health. Expect major changes to
be announced at the 2014 AAHPERD convention
in St Louis. Please plan now to attend our state
convention for updates.
With the recently adopted new PE rules by the
Arkansas Department of Education physical
education could be greatly impacted in our state.
Your state ArkAHPERD has worked diligently to
preserve PE as a required subject. Your
President-elect, Bret Stone, serves on the state
committee responsible for addressing such issues
and reporting to the Governor. While the current
rules may allow PE to be taught by the classroom
teacher NOT certified in PE, we are working to
resolve this issue. At this year’s convention we
will provide details on the progress of the
campaign and future actions.
Finally, WE NEED YOUR HELP, it is time for
the 2013 State Convention. As ArkAHPERD
continues to grow and face challenges we need
you as a member. I ask that you be a part of the
ArkAHPERD family and attend YOUR
convention in November!!!
Sincerely,
Andy Mooneyhan

Why Jump Rope for Heart?
JUMP is a terrific program that teaches children how to live a
healthy, active lifestyle. The event is easy to run, fun for all, and
most importantly it contributes to saving lives in the fight against
heart disease and stroke. For more information visit:
