O’Loughlin Elementary School in Hays has been selected to participate in a large initiative to create 15 Walking School Bus programs in 15 elementary schools across Kansas.

The school has received a $2,000 Kansas Department of Transportation grant to support the project and will have an informational session later this month to explain the program and gather input from community stakeholders. The grant was announced by O’Loughlin Principal Nancy Harman and Terri Tramel, the school’s Walking School Bus coordinator.
