🌟BLACK HISTORY IN HEALTH EDUCATION🌟

Here's 8️⃣ ways you can infuse black history into #healthed (or #physed).

It's not intended to be a "this is only for a #blackhistorymonth lesson".

✅15 emails sent to House of Representatives Education Finance committee requesting the opposition of HF65!

Jessica Matheson (she/her) @coachmatheson.bsky.social · Feb 19

✅8 emails sent to the authors of HF65!

📣Advocacy Alert! Oppose MN HF65!

What is HF65? It is requesting to repeal the health ed standards rulemaking legislation. Simply, this would remove funding and stop the creation of MN state standards in #healthed.
