Congratulations!

A special thanks to everyone from Butler, Wellington, and Winn Brook Elementary Schools who submitted a poem for this project. We have selected the poem lines (below) for installation.

Due to some changes in the funding, we were able to select more poems than originally budget (yea!), however we will hold off on installing in order to coincide with the fall and spring “Walk to School Days” for 2017-18. In the meantime, please enjoy these lines and congratulations to all those who took an artistic leap of faith!

almost everyone is lugging

their luggage.”
