National Walk to School Day!
A wonderful morning for a brisk walk… Thanks to Ms. Sealey, our PE Teacher, for organizing Dillard Academy’s National Walk to School Day Event. On October 5, we all met at HV Brown Park for Breakfast, a quick recess and then we headed out on our trek back to the school. The Goldsboro Police Department protected and served by escorting us the entire walk. They even stopped traffic to keep us safe.
Walk to School Day is a national celebration aimed at bringing awareness to safety and community. Dillard Academy joined schools around the nation, including Wake County schools in walking to school.
