WALKING...TO SCHOOL!
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7th, 2020
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!
Last year, because of the pandemic, a walk
to school for many students involves going
from their bedroom to the kitchen or living
room, where ever their lap top was kept.
Most kids are back actually in a school
building this year and, hopefully, at least
some get a chance to walk to school.
Hope you're well, walking somewhere, and that
all your NEWS is good!
