Capitol Hill Elementary School
Capitol Hill Elementary School is participating in International Walk + Bike to School Day, October 6, by dropping off kids several blocks from the school. Most of the kids at the school take the school bus, so the kids will walk the remaining blocks to the school.
Capitol Hill, as with many southwest Portland neighborhood schools, does not have enough sidewalks to encourage walking and biking "school buses", but this event will provide students with the chance to walk together and inspire the community!
