Polk Central Elementary School joined an worldwide movement on Oct. 4 for International Walk to School Day. This is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking and biking to school on the same day, and has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school. In the case of Polk Central, since it isn’t possible or safe to walk to the school, children and their teachers celebrated by walking around their campus. (Photo submitted by Mary Smith)
