Omaha, NE - Hundreds of students are walking to school today as part of International Walk To School Day.  The international campaign promotes safety, fun, and healthy habits for kids by walking or biking to school.  Parents are encouraged to walk with their children.  It's also a way for kids to learn the importance of physical activity, pedestrian safety, concern for the environment, and cutting down on traffic congestion.
