Walk to School Day planned for Wednesday

Be on the lookout for groups of kids taking the long way to their classroom Wednesday morning.

It’s International Walk to School Day and at least six Lawrence elementary schools have groups of students planning to get outside and using their legs to start of their day of learning.

Walk to School Day was started to promote children’s health, improve air quality and the environment and to create safer routes for kids who walk or bike to school more than once a year.
