Over lunch today I opened up my latest copy of The Beacon, the quarterly newsletter of the Cathedral School in Portland, and discovered a heart warming story.

Every Tuesday morning the entire student body, as well as teachers and staff, hits the trail for a 2 1/2 mile walk up Munjoy Hill, around Eastern Prom and back to the school via the East End Path.

That's awesome kids!

All told, the Tuesday Cathedral walking group has logged more than 20,000 miles since summer school. And they hope to surpass 25,000 by the end of the school year.

Wow!

Kudos to the teachers for their guidance and motivation. A great program.

And keep it up kids. Walking is a good habit that is central to a long, healthy life.
