Babylon Students ‘Walk to School’

As part of the international movement, Babylon Elementary School students and their families left their cars at home and walked, biked and used their leg muscles to travel to school on Oct. 5 for the annual “Walk to School Day” event.

The event drew in a large crowd of students, family members and staff, all donning orange and black clothing to raise awareness for an active and healthy lifestyle. Babylon Elementary School Principal Travis Davey was on hand to welcome students before they entered the building and assist them as they placed cutout paper feet onto the decorative “Walk to School” poster placed on the side of the school building.

“We’ve hosted this event every year for the past few years, and everyone always has a great time taking part in it,” said Babylon Elementary School Physical Education teacher Rob Andrews. “This gives students the opportunity to get in their exercise for the day while having fun along the way.”
