It's National Walk to School Day, Oct. 3

The Marshall Public Schools are for the second consecutive year participating today in National Walk to School Day observances to promote healthy lifestyles with physical exercise like walking to and from school. The event also helps cut down on exhaust emissions and congestion at the schools where more and more parents who drive their children to school gather to drop them off. Organizing this year's event are school district nurse Sue Boley and counselor, Pam McCann, among others. Watch for extra pedestrians on the streets this morning on your way to work and this afternoon when school lets out.
