FLOTUS’ latest ‘Let’s Move!’ project: The ‘Walking School Bus’:
"First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is no longer limited to the classroom — now she’s using it to take over school transportation as well.
During her remarks to a group of mayors at the White House last week, Obama promoted the concept of a “walking school bus” — a group of children who walk to school together with adults.
“I’ve heard more and more of this kind of walking school bus happening all over the country — so that kids can get exercise on the way to school, kind of like we did when we were growing up,” Obama said.
She added that a program like the “walking school bus,” which is run in cooperation with the Department of Transportation, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center and the Partnership for a Walkable America, is exactly what “Let’s Move!” is about."
