It was a beautiful Spring morning for our walking bus. We had a great morning walking to school. Bus 1: Left the church at 8:30 am and Bus 2: left The Bailey at 8:35 am. We really enjoyed getting exercise before school and we were helping the environment too. Ms. Lillis's class won the Golden boot this week as they had the most amount of people walking to school. Thank you to all the parents who helped get the walking bus moving again. Hopefully the weather stays dry for our walking bus next week.
