Photo Gallery: Orchard Hollow Students Walk To School

More than 200 Mentor students participated in International Walk To School Day this morning

More than 200 students walked from Pinegate Pool to school this morning as part of International Walk to School Day.

Because the Orchard Hollow mascot is a husky, many of the students clutched stuffed dogs during their walk. A few even had real dogs accompany them.

Principal Karen Trunk said the school has also included the event in its PAWS Against Bullying program.
