Tiffin University took to the streets with local elementary children on Walk Day on Sept. 27.

The event, which is organized around Washington K-1 Elementary School, involved Washington's administration, staff, teachers, and hundreds of students participating. In addition, Tiffin University staff and hundreds of student-athletes along with community members and supporters also participated. The walk began at 10 am at Washington Elementary School.

Walk Day is an annual event that involves communities from across the country walking and rolling to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event. Today, thousands of schools across America—from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico—participate every October. Over time, this celebration has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school.
