Oops, wrong thread! My bad.
On one hand, this effort is to be applauded- ordinary walking is a basic exercise that has been literally been driven out of many lives. On the other hand, the school is surrounded by blocks of city streets that shamefully lack sidewalks sixty-odd years after incorporation into the city limits. Good for the school district for looking for ways to encourage kids to regularly exercise, it’s long past time for us as citizens to see to basic civic infrastructure. Walking is good for kids of all ages.
