Over 6,500 students from all
eight of the
City's elementary schools, all five of the middle schools, the two
community schools, and the two high schools were invited to
participate in the International Walk-to-School event on October 7, 2015. The event was supported by the
Massachusetts Safe Routes to
School (SRTS) program which promotes healthy alternatives for children and
parents in their travel to and from school and educates students,
parents and community members on the value of walking and bicycling. "The Doran
Community School and the Letourneau Elementary School will soon resume a daily Walking School
Bus to encourage children to walk every day," stated School Wellness Coordinator Marcia Picard
who helped to organize the events along with school officials. Click here to see a
