STEPPING INTO SCHOOL.
October 7th marks one of those unusual
"holidays" that a lot or parents and kids
probably wish they could observe! It is
"International Walk To School Day!"
It was started in 1997 by the Partnership
For A Walkable America. While created
as a national observance it quickly caught
on in other countries around the world!
When I was a kid I walked to me grade
school (about 2 blocks), to my Junior
High School (about 3 blocks) and to my
High School. The High School was
about a mile hike. At least till I got my
driver's license and could borrow the car!
These days a a walk to school for many
students involves going from their bedroom
to the kitchen or living room, where ever
their lap top is kept. Hopefully things will
get back to "normal" soon and that a part
of the normak will include a walk to school
Hope you're well and that all your NEWS
is good!
