All Children Exercising Simultaneously Day (ACES)

The students at Ralph R. Smith Elementary School participated in a district-wide event promoting fitness. Project ACES was created by Len Saunders in 1989 as a method of motivating children to exercise. ACES takes place on the first week in May 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.

Mr. Moughan organized the school-wide game of catch. A variety of balls and other objects fit for throwing were used to get the students at Ralph R. Smith exercising together and having a lot of fun!
