NYS AHPERD Western Zone Outstanding

Physical Education Student Award Program

Dear Physical Educator:

The NYS AHPERD Western Zone recognizes one boy and one girl from each school as the NYS AHPERD Western Zone Outstanding Physical Education Student. The Western Zone will recognize students in the following categories:

1. Elementary (5th or 6th grader leaving your building)

2. Middle School (8th or 9th grader leaving your building)

3. High School (a graduating senior).

Please use the following criteria to make your selection:

Middle & High Schools:

·  Demonstrates 100% effort all the time.

·  Demonstrates sportsmanship/citizenship to the highest degree (NYSPHSAA 3C’s).

·  Demonstrates an understanding of the value of being active.

·  Leadership in the classroom environment.

·  Maintains an A average in Physical Education.

·  Participates in community leadership activities (volunteer work, school club participation)

Elementary Schools:

·  Demonstrates sportsmanship, teamwork, personal effort, cooperation, tolerance, compassion, respect, fair play, etc…

·  Maintains a healthy lifestyle.

·  Understands the importance of being active and eating healthy.

NOTICE: Athletic ability is not part of the criteria. We recognize students who truly embody the spirit of a physically educated student. The recognized students may have athletic qualities, but it should not be a determining factor.

We recognize these students with a certificate to be presented as deemed appropriate. As the Outstanding Physical Education Student program grows, the WZ would like to have a recognition event. Your feedback and input is welcome.

Attached is the application form. Please return by April 15th by email to Erin E. Lingle- . You may also nominate online by going to the www.nysahperd.org and visiting the Western Zone mini site.

Thank you for all your dedication to our students.

Yours truly,

Erin E. Lingle
