Haverfordwest pupils stride out
Around 40 children, parents and teachers from Mount Airey School in Haverfordwest took part in a Park and Stride event recently.
Pupils met at the Rifleman's Field car park, where parents left their cars and joined the children and school staff on their walk to school.
Organised by Pembrokeshire County Council's Road Safety Team - and supported by PC Carolyn Davies - the walk to school was part of the Healthy Schools Initiative.
It is now hoped to organise Park and Stride events on a regular basis.
Acting Headteacher Cora O'Brien said she fully supported the scheme.
"I hope parents will continue to walk the short distance from the car park to the school with their children. It will enhance the pupils' fitness as well as promote sustainability," she said.
