Opportunity

1 comment July 18th, 2008

It’s a great opportunity  … the school district needs to save on gas expenditures … kids need to spend more time outside. Let’s get more children walking to school! What will it take? More crossing guards? More neighborhood groups to help guarantee safety and to help parents be comfortable with it? Help to make sure kids have the proper clothing during inclement weather? With this simple old-fashioned exercise and some good fresh air might kids do better in school as a result? Let’s leave bus riding to those who are able to use public transportation to save on gasoline. Whew, this is about a lot more than Jan Herbertsaving on school bus gasoline.
