ACES is the idea of New Jersey physical educator, Lenny Saunders. Over 7 million school children from all fifty states and as many as 45 Foreign countries will be exercising simultaneously for a minimum of fifteen minutes. The purpose of ACES is to call attention to the importance of youth fitness in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere. The motivation for the students is knowing that children from EVERY state will be participating all over the country with them. The program emphasis is on the first Wednesday of May annually.
