Today is National Walk to School Day
National Walk to School Day started in 1997 in Chicago as a way to bring the community together and encourage children to walk to school.
Communities across the country are planning special events to recognize National Walk to School Day.
Chicago was the site of the first National Walk Our Children to School Day in 1997, according to the website www.walktoschool.org.
By 2002, children, parents, teachers and community leaders in all 50 states joined nearly three million walkers around the world for International Walk to School Day. The reasons for walking included concern for safe and improved streets, healthier habits and cleaner air.
