Students and parents across Community Consolidated School District 181 participated in the Walk to School Day Oct. 6. It began in 1997 as a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries where students walk and bike to school on the same day. Members of the Hinsdale Fire and Police departments were stationed at each school to welcome the students. At The Lane School, PTO members handed out stickers and pencils to the children.
