Pictures and Brief Report on Northfield’s Walk to School Day

Above are pictures from Walk to School Day in Northfield, Minnesota, October 8, 2008. We had four schools participate this year: the three elementary schools and the Middle School. That is a fourfold increase over last year. Approximately 160-200 students participated at the Middle School and 150 at Sibley Elementary. The latter represents at least double the usual number of kids who walk or bike on a given day.
The pictures show children leaving Bridgewater Elementary with the assistance of the crossing guards, my daughter in our new jogging stroller, and a photo from Greg Sumner of a record number of bikes at the Middle School.
