 Children
in county elementary schools were invited to participate by walking
with their class at recess that day.
A total
of nine schools, 52 teachers and 953 students in Logan County
schools participated in this Walk Day activity, walking a total of
over 51 miles.
The fifth-grade class at Washington-Monroe Elementary in Lincoln, taught by
Kate Ewing, as well as the kindergarten class at Jefferson
Elementary in Lincoln, taught by Connie Hofer, won random drawings
of those participating and were awarded bags of trail mix for their
classes to snack on during their walks.
Walk Day
is an annual event in May, sponsored by University of Illinois
Extension.

year, please contact Patty Huffer at the Logan County Extension
