Applications for the 2001-2002 Scholar Athlete Awards are available now from high school principals. The theme for this year's contest is Why I Am Grateful to America's Veterans. Each fall, thousands of students, representing hundreds of schools from across the state, enter essays in the competition. The top 10 statewide winners, their families, and their teachers will travel to Lansing next spring to be honored for their achievements. Plans are now being made for next year's event, scheduled for May 1, 2002.
ACES focuses statewide attention on the relationship between physical activity and long-term health.
