MYERS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Teachers and pupils enjoys 'Walk and Roll' to school day!

Myers Elementary School recently completed its eighth annual Safe Routes to School "Walk and Roll" Day on Friday, Oct. 18.

School staff were out in the neighbors around the building walking to school with their pupils. Some staff were even dropped off over a half-mile away in the apartment complexes to accompany children walking to school.

Teachers join a group of students

Principal Diedre Zockheem joined a bus route at one of the bus stops and rode to school with some of the students. Several Taylor School District administrators, members of the school improvement and state and federal departments, also joined in fun.

Sponsors included HealthLink EMS, the American Heart Association, AAA of Michigan, Little Caesar's of Taylor and, for the first time, the National Kidney Foundation. The heart association, AAA and the kidney foundation handed out literature, stickers and bags of goodies for the children as they entered Myers.

This event would not happen if it wasn't for the dedicated hard work of school Social Worker Marilyn Vargo, who does an outstanding job of putting everything together.

All in all, a great event!
