From Ms. Clark

I am really looking forward to our educational walk. This past Saturday, Ms. Leigh and I had the pleasure of driving various routes from SF to Sac. I must tell you that there are so many great, interesting, and wonderful places to spend a day. If time presents itself.....get out there....and check it out.

I am hopeful that many of you will pass the word, and or join us on this walk....the cause is of most importance.....FREE!!!!!!! WORTHY!!!!!!!!!! WELL FUNDED!!!!!!!!! PUBLIC EDUCATION!!!!!!!! Every child needs and deserves a good education, and it is up to us to make sure that schools have what they need to take care of the educational needs of children.

So then.....how bout you get out your walking shoes, load your ipod (or whatever music devise), get a couple of good books (we do have to stop and rest from time to time), get your thoughts and worries loaded (you will have an opportunity to think'em and reason them into perspective), and come get some good healthy exercise (walking works).

2nd Meeting

Today, June 24, we have our second meeting to plan our walk. Kelly and I spent Saturday researching our route by driving through all kinds of little roads and towns around the bay. While looking for a flat and walkable route, we uncovered lots of interesting towns and highways. The Delta area and all of its ferries is a great place for families to visit! The town of Locke is a historical site worth the side trip and could make an extremely valuable class trip. We finally decided on the flattest route - 580 to 5 (before an after the Altimont Pass. Without the pass, its a really flat route. Tonight's meeting will cover crew, fundraising, publicity and sponsors. Hope some of you out there can attend!
