Walk to School Day!!!

Congratulations to all of our tracked out YMCA campers who participated in our Walk to School Day today.  Mayor Ronnie Williams issued a Garner Walk to School Proclamation, and campers participated in a variety of activities at White Deer Park prior to walking to Timber Drive.  Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Culberson joined the walk and are so proud of the students.  Visit the following websites to read about the exciting event:  http://www.advocatesforhealthinaction.org/2012/10/02/garner-mayor-proclaims-walk-to-school-day-tomorrow/ and  http://www.garnercleveland.com/2012/10/09/12629/kids-on-break-walk-to-school.html.  Thank you to the YMCA staff, Mayor and Ms. Williams, Garner Fire and Rescue, Wake Med, and Safe Kids of Wake County.  A special thank you to Jennifer Neighbors, a Timber Drive parent, for her leadership with the event.  Great job Timberwolves!!!!
