Walking and rolling, New Scotland-style

Adult and child with tandem bike they rode to school

They walked, they rolled, they ran!

Wednesday was national Walk & Roll to School Day, and New Scotland Elementary students and families took advantage of the beautiful morning to stroll, run, scooter, bike and skateboard to school.

The national effort emphasizes the importance of having safe routes to school and the health benefits of being active.
