SHAPE PA Time Capsule
What do you want future SHAPE PA members to know about PE, health and education today?
Bring a small item, note, photo, piece of memorabilia or anything that represents YOU, your school, your students or the world of education in 2026 to the conference. We’ll collect these treasures and seal them away in the SHAPE PA Time Capsule to be opened by a future generation of educators.
Think: What would you want someone at SHAPE PA 10, 20 or even 50 years from now to find?
Bring your item to the conference and help us leave a little piece of 2026 behind!
