Stand 4 Change and ACES

On May 2nd, 2012, the first Stand4Change Day took place with over 2 MILLION students around the globe, taking a stand in their schools and communities. They were alerting  those around them, that they would not stand for bullying behaviors. Since then, the number of students that have participated in Stand4Change Day each year has grown exponentially. This year, over 5 MILLION students will take part in this historic Stand4Change Day movement. These students represent every state in the United States, as well as 30 countries around the globe.

Today students of Room 15 pledged to stop bullying and help others if they are bullied. We had a great discussion about how words can be hurtful even if we are 'joking.'  Students agreed to join the anti-bullying movement.

Students also participated in ACES (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) today at 3:15.  ACES takes place as part of National Physical Fitness and Sports Month along with National Physical Education Week. It has been labeled as "the world's largest exercise class" by the media. Since 1989, millions of children from all over the world exercise together to promote proper health and fitness habits. With the obesity epidemic facing the youth of the world, children's fitness plays a major role in fighting heart disease. Project ACES hopes to address these issues with its big event in May.  Please click here if you'd like to learn more.
