Thanks to the work of the parents at the school, the number of children walking and biking to school continues to increase. The state of Georgia is number two in childhood obesity, and walking and biking is just one of many ways to help to combat that epidemic.
Be on the lookout in the morning for children all over Decatur who will be participating in “walking school buses” and “bike trains” on their way to and from school. Children at Clairemont will be greeted by special visitors from both the local and state level, including Mayor Bill Floyd who will say a few words about the importance of walking at their morning assembly.
