Ocean City Intermediate School students finished their school day Wednesday with the Village People.
The vintage disco group’s “Y.M.C.A.” provided the soundtrack for Project ACES (All Children Exercise Simultaneously).
The project is part of a nationwide effort to motivate children to exercise, and ACES takes place on the first Wednesday in May as part of National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.
Spanish teacher Ashley Shaffer, head of the Wellness Committee for the AtlantiCare Healthy Schools, Healthy Children Program, said its the third year the school has participated in the program.
This year, eighth-graders moved outside to perform the “Y.M.C.A.” dance and to form a makeshift conga line.
