Walk to School - The Walking School Bus (Kreg)

I thought I'd record a typical morning/evening ride on the walking school bus.  As you may have read earlier, we walk Lika to school every morning and pick her up in the evening.  It is possible for us to use public transportation, but that would actually add time to the transit, so for now we just walk.  It is 1.1 miles as the crow flies to the school so I figure it is about 1.5 miles in our zig zag path. That makes 3 miles twice a day:)

The school is near the big park on the left center section of Perm. 

The line indicates our path from our apartment to the school.  The half way point is the Mall.

Just past the mall.  We cut through the parking lot. that leads to the Gagarin cultural center.
Mira Street or "World Street" on  a busy morning.

Last big intersection to cross

Another side street leading to our last turn

Cutting across a courtyard.  The school is where the red fence is.  It is literally on an alley.

Entering the school grounds.  You must get buzzed in by the guard.

Inside the school grounds.
Kids actually jump for joy to be in this school.  Here is proof!
