Walking School Bus

Garner Elementary School third grader Ben Nielsen, 9, arrives at school dressed as a school bus while participating in the school's new Walking School Bus program Wednesday, March 21, 2012 in North Liberty. A Walking School Bus (WSB) is a group of children walking together with adult "drivers" to supervise. It is a similar set-up to car pooling without the car. WSBs help increase physical activity among children, help kids learn lifelong safety techniques, and prepare them to be safer drivers who watch out for pedestrians and bicyclists.
