Michigan joins the growing movement to leave no child inside.
Governor Jennifer M. Granholm recently signed an official proclamation designating April 20 as "No Student Left Inside Day" in Michigan in an effort to help reconnect children with the outdoors.
"One of the great gifts we can give our children is to make sure they connect with the amazing natural resources we have in Michigan," said Granholm. "Whether we take them fishing, hunting, hiking, mountain biking or simply let them discover the beauty of nature in our state, helping our children connect with the outdoors is essential to making sure our natural resources are protected and respected in the future."
