Photos: Walkers making great strides toward their goals

With 82 Klager students who have a punch card started for the walking incentive program, as of last Wednesday, half of those students (41) have already reached the five-day prize level and 14 have 10 or more punches on their card. "That is very impressive!" says Walk to School organizer Kathy O'Mara. Those who have not yet started a punch card, however, still have plenty of time to do so. Remember: every 10 punches earns you a chance for the grand prizes that will be given away at the end of the year. Join us meeting at 7:30 am at Wurster Park and the former Middle School on Mondays and Wednesdays, and at 7:45 am Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at Chi-Bro Park. You'll have plenty of company!
