over 52 miles.

first-grade class at West Lincoln-Broadwell, taught by Vickie Bruce;
the seventh-grade class at Chester-East Lincoln, taught by Doug
Rader; and the second- and third-grade class at Mount Pulaski Zion,
taught by Erika Ehle. They were awarded bags of trail mix for their
classes to snack on during their walks. Walk Day is an annual May
event sponsored by University of Illinois Extension.
