They’re walkin’, yes, indeed. Last Wednesday was “International Walk to School Day,” and local students were among the thousands from around the world who celebrated by dispensing with gasoline-powered vehicles for the day. The idea behind the day is to walk to school together with a purpose - to promote health, safety, physical activity and concern for the environment. Among Los Altos School District schools participating, Loyola Elementary School students, shown here, formed a “walking school bus,” conducted by Principal Linda Eckols and Superintendent Tim Justus. Members of the Covington Elementary community gathered at Los Altos Lutheran Church and the Chamber of Commerce to walk to the campus on Covington Road. Santa Rita participants also used the “walking bus” concept for their event.
