[staff] 2009 Project ACES

Hi guys! Here is an email I've sent out to family, friends, teachers, and

fitness professional regarding Project ACES. If you can please read it and pass

the information along to any teachers, especially Physical Education teachers

(they are the ones who usually step up and organize ACES for their school), I

would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

I'm writing you in regards to the 2009 Project ACES day. ACES is an acronym for

All Children Exercise Simultaneously, and I am the New Jersey State Coordinator

for Project ACES this year. As many of you know, I am now a personal trainer

and a Spin instructor, but my real passion is children's fitness. I teach

several Teen Spin classes and also developed and instruct developmentally

appropriate group fitness classes for young children. The energy and excitement

that comes from these children is limitless. America's kids are begging to be

active!

About Project ACES:

Each May, millions of school children all over the world exercise simultaneously

in a symbolic gesture of fitness, health, and unity. This free, non-competitive

program is an educational, motivational, and fun way to promote exercise and

physical activity among today's youth. ACES takes place on the first Wednesday

in May as part of National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, as well as

National Physical Education Week.

This year ACES is being held on Wednesday, May 6th 2009 at 10:00am. As a former

teacher, a personal trainer, a children's fitness enthusiast, and a woman who

was once an overweight child, this day is close to my heart. I believe that

spreading awareness about healthy, fun activity is about much more than getting

kids moving. Project ACES also brings attention to the prevalence of childhood

obesity, heart disease, type II diabetes and other life threatening disease that

plague America's youth. Project ACES serves as an example of community,

leadership, and most importantly, respect for ourselves, both inside and out.

I am reaching out to all of you because I know you are teachers, educators,

parents, and caretakers that want the best for our children. I am asking you to

join in the fun and become part of a world-wide phenomenon and day of health

awareness. On May 6th, all children will exercise. they will either walk, jog,

jump-rope, bike, do aerobics, dance, or participate in some combination of these

exercises. Each school organizes its own participation assembly that runs from

15 to 45 minutes. There are no strict rules or specific routines to follow;

just get the kids up and moving!

I have attached an informational flyer that you may use to help promote Project

ACES at your school and in your community. Please also visit the New Jersey's

Project ACES website at http://nj.projectaces.com. The global Project ACES

website is http://www.lensaunders.com/aces/aces.html. Both sites will provide

you with additional ACES history and information, allow you to register your

school for the event, and give you access to free ideas and promotional material

to help your school get started with Project ACES.

I look forward to hearing about your May 6th 2009 Project ACES Day success! You

may contact me via phone at 973.760.9580 or email at

In happiness and health,

Astrella
