School District 51 students took to the sidewalks, trails and roads to walk, bike or roll to school this morning for Walk to School Day.
Mesa County Health Department staff members walked to school with students, faculty and parents of Tope Elementary School and Orchard Avenue Elementary School. About 100 students met up at each of the designated drop-off points and walked to school together.
Check out the photos below to get a look at some of the fun!
