Walking school bus, 2007

Walking school bus, 2007

These parents are leading a walking school bus through the streets of Ōtara, Auckland, in 2007. Walking buses aim to keep children safe on the way to and from school, and to provide some exercise. Organising and 'driving' walking school buses are one way parents are involved with their children's activities.
