State Convention
Anyone who was at the PETE club meeting last night heard about the convention. I was the only freshman that attended last year and stayed and went for the full stay. It was a blast. Yes its long its a Saturday Sunday thing but the days go quick, and you get so much free stuff :) You also meet many professors and people from different schools across the state. Last year was in Pittsburgh so it made things a lot easier. This year will be in Valley Forge which will be a 5 hour drive! I'm hoping to go and I encourage other Physical Education majors to go, and it looks really good on your resume!

I am definately going to the convention this year! The reason I didn't go last year was becuase I still didnt really know anyone and I didn't want to room with upperclassmen that I didn't know! But that is awesome that you were the only freshman! I actually had my high school prom at the Valley Forge Convention Center, its huge! The Radisson is really nice too! Free stuff is definately a plus, but hopefully it will be a good place for networking. The drive down there isn't too bad! I hope we get a full bus laod!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to go too but I don't know if I will be able to this year. :( next year for sure I am going to go. It sounds like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteDaniel, I like your enthusiasm. I did not go last year but I am considering going this year. My friend Richard Morrison and I were discussing it briefly, and I feel like it could be a very educational trip, and well worth the long bus ride!
ReplyDeleteDan the convention sounds great but im still skeptical about it. I heard many good things, the only thing I am not looking forward to is the six hour bus ride on the weekend. I am definitely planning on attending it this year or next I just have not decided yet. What types of things did you end up doing during the day of the convention? Who did you listen to? What did you do?
ReplyDeleteYea I agree that it is for sure the way to go. It looks real good on your resume. This will be my third year going. It gives you a great chance to meet and network with other physical education teachers from the area. They give you a lot of good ideas for lessons as well. They give out free stuff to that maybe useful when you start teaching at a school. I recommend going if you can for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe State Convention sounds like something we had for Key Club in high school. They were a blast you got to stay in a hotel and just do your own thing. Sure, the days were a little long, but at the same time you need to remember what all you are getting out of it. It would be a great experience for everyone to go and I hope I get the opportunity this year.
