"I'm excited to use the SHAPE Idaho travel grant to attend SHAPE Baltimore, where I'll represent SHAPE Idaho as an advocate for the importance of quality physical education. This opportunity will allow me to connect with other professionals and share ideas on how we can elevate PE programs. I’ll be presenting on the topic "Transforming the Future of PE: Vision, Standards, and Comprehensive Programs" focusing on how we can shape the future of physical education by enhancing its vision, implementing updated standards, and creating comprehensive, well-rounded programs. I look forward to exchanging insights, learning from others, and contributing to the ongoing efforts to improve physical education statewide and nationally."

"We are thrilled to share that Shape Idaho generously provided funds to help us create a fantastic tumble room and gross motor space at KinderCollege Children's Center at LC State! This new area is a dream come true for the children we serve, offering a dedicated spot to get out extra wiggles or to stay active when outdoor play isn't an option due to weather. The importance of gross motor development in early childhood cannot be overstated, and this space will be invaluable in supporting our children's physical growth and overall well-being."
