Hundreds turned out this morning for another great walk’n’roll event at Wildwood Elementary. Walking or riding to school are great ways to exercise and are proven to improve academic performance.
Thanks to all, including the first responders who handed out stickers as kids arrived at school.

9/11 was catastrophic: Thousands of lives lost, illness for thousands more, assaults on civil liberties, and foreign-policy disasters we’re still dealing with.
But we also came together, at least for a brief moment. Today let’s honor those who helped as well as those we lost.
