Announcing two more walking school busses walking to Tatem Elementary School.
Last year, Tatem parents started the Walking School Bus program. Tatem received a grant from the National Center for Safe Routes to School last year, and has experienced an increase in walkers overall. Grant monies awarded to Tatem have helped promote the WSB and walking to school.
The two WSB stops are on either side of Grove Street at Maple Avenue. There were about 28 who joined us for the walk on the first day of school, although it was difficult to tell exactly how many, as most of Tatem’s 400+ students walked to school on the Sept. 5.
