approximately 100 students from the North Intermediate Center of 
Education will learn about health, pedestrian safety, and physical 
activity, and will gain a sense of neighborhood and concern for the 
environment. These students will be joining students from all 50 States

  I am pleased to congratulate the students and teachers at the North 
Intermediate Center of Education for their participation in 
International Walk to School Day. I wish them much success in this 
endeavor.
