Walk to School Day Marked in Bay Ridge
District 20 students who live a reasonable walking distance from their schools were asked to walk to school rather than being driven on Wednesday, Oct. 10 as part of National Walk to School Day.
Locally, P.S. 127 and P.S. 264 participated in the national walk-to-school, which also encouraged participating students to create a plan of action by mapping out their route beforehand and estimating the time it would take to arrive at school on time.
In addition, all 486 students at P.S. 264, 371 89th St., were given a pedometer — funded by the PTA and Mighty Milers running program — to wear to track their steps during the week as part of an effort to promote pedestrian awareness.
