Today was national walkbiketo school day. 4,016 schools around the United States participated in the event. Among them: the Greenville Elementary School in Edgemont. Hat’s off to the Edgemont Elementary PTA for doing a terrific job motivating parents and children to participate. I spent 40 minutes at the school this morning and was amazed at the participation levels. The road leading to the school was full of walkers (parents and children). Most parents did not drive their children to school. The Greenburgh police was present – helping to make sure that the walkers were safe. And, every child who participated received a sticker saying “Getting to School Healthy, Happy and Green”. It is my hope that all schools within the town will support this terrific initiative next year.

Construction began this week. The new sidewalk should encourage more students to walk to school. PAUL FEINER
