Tiffin University took to the streets with local elementary children on Walk Day on October 3.
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 9 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.
