Dog Days of Summer Smart Walk

The last walk to school of the year set off from the Fairhope library with four-legged guests.

Smart Coast “Dog Days of Summer” Smart Walk

May 4th marked the final Smart Walk of the School year. It was entitled “Dog Days of Summer” and featured some of our four legged furry friends. Again, the lovely weather only helped add to the enjoyment of all as we set off to school from the Fairhope library. We hope to start a pilot daily Walking School Bus program in the fall. More information will follow as we get the project in place. We are so excited about the project as well as the overwhelming support from the school administration and staff. Their enthusiasm is truly contagious!
