ACES With-a-Friend in Michigan 2008
(All Children Exercising Simultaneously)
Dear Mr. Saunders:
Congratulations on another great ACES day! We here in Michigan are happy to report that as of May 2, we had 410,552 children participating from 1,044 schools in Michigan. We had all 83 Michigan counties represented! We did a couple of special events. We had 1,000 children exercising at the steps of the Capitol building in Lansing. And in Flint, we had national expert Andy Clarke, Executive Director of the League of American Bicyclists leading children in exercise at Williams Elementary. It was a great day! Thanks so much for all you do!
