School walk will promote student wellness

CHAMPAIGN – Almost as soon as children are back in the classroom each fall, parents are circulating fundraising catalogs to friends, family and co-workers. Sales of magazine subscriptions, wrapping paper and candy help pay for many activities for students.

Westview Elementary School is trying something different this year. Instead of the usual fall fundraiser, the school is holding a walk. Children are asking for donations, and students, staff, parents and others will walk a quarter-mile course around the school Friday morning.
