Yesterday, as the children of Downes Elementary held their 15th annual Walk to School Day, the Downes Safe Routes To School Committee was present to gather parent feedback on our work thus far, and participate in the festivities.There were plenty of commemorative reflective tags & shoe key chains  courtesy of WILMAPCO distributed to students.  This event also coincided with the Public Workshop on the proposed infrastructure changes to Cashio Mill Road, and kicked off the Downes Shark Pride Strides student walking relay held. In an exciting turn of events, Downes saw the debut of the DelDOT Walk Smart Cone Mascot, and the local news showed up to document the event. We hope all the parents & students enjoyed walking to school together as much as we did helping.
