Westlake School Holding Kindness Walk On Monday

WESTLAKE, OH - The first annual Kindness Walk will be held at Lee Burneson Middle School on Monday.

Students and staff at the Westlake school will walk (or run) along a 1.5-mile route through the community surrounding Lee Burneson. The event will start at 9 a.m. and continue until 10:30 a.m.

Water stations will be set up along the route and parents have been invited to attend and cheer on the racers and walkers. Many of the parents are expected to bring signs.

The idea for the Kidness Walk came from the Burneson+. The group is run by students and staff and is designed to lead to positive behavioral intervention and supports at the middle school. The upcoming walk will promote positivity, kindness and mental health awareness.

In the event of rain, the walk will be postponed until the fall. Current forecasts show a clear, sunny day on Monday, with a high of about 61 degrees.
