MIAMI (April 6, 2017) -- FIU women's basketball recently participated in the "Walking School Bus" program, encouraging kids to increase physical activity and walk to school. The program is organized by Healthy West Kendall, and started last fall, with the program pairing parents and students with groups wanting to assist in a healthy morning walk to school to increase physical activity.
The Panthers broke up into groups and walked with kids from their neighborhoods to Wesley Matthews Elementary on the morning of March 31, with local police ensuring a safe trip. Folks from sponsor West Kendall Baptist also participated.
