Hartford, Conn. (October 8, 2013) - Students throughout Connecticut will participate in International Walk to School Day tomorrow (October 9, 2013).
Hundreds of students in the state will walk and bike to school tomorrow with parents, teachers community leaders from their homes or other designated sites. The event will begin with kids, parents and community leaders walking from their homes or from designated starting points. International Walk to School Day is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event.

Not only is walking to school a fun family activity, there are plenty of other benefits too. As of today, the following schools and towns in Connecticut are participating:
