Walktober Teaches Kids Walking Safety, Promotes Health
Westwing Elementary School Oct. 19
10/11/2011
The Peoria Police Department will kick off its
Walking Wednesdays School Safety Program at Westwing Elementary School on Oct.
19. The program encourages students to walk safely to school to alleviate
traffic congestion during drop-off/pick-up times and promote good health. Every
Wednesday morning, police officers will meet at the park and walk with students
to school. Based on the success of the program, the Parent-Teacher-Student
Association (PTSA) will take over future coordination and increase the number of
walking days each week. For more information, call Officer Jim Cousins at
623-773-8542.
