We spoke with Fairview Elementary School Principal Christine Hess who said that the school will be participating in Walk to School Day again this year. Hess said that Fairview Elementary encourages students and parents to participate, wearing bright colored clothing, and then they will be treated to fresh fruit when they come in.
Walk to School Day emphasizes the importance of increased physical activity among children and safe transportation environments for walking and bicycling in Indiana communities. While walking is emphasized, bicycling is also encouraged.
