Kids and families around the globe are planning to get some extra exercise in Wednesday for International Walk to School Day.

The annual event is a way to promote physical activity, clean air, pedestrian safety and traffic reduction, according to the state Department of Transportation.

But it also means motorists should keep an eye out for extra pedestrians along roadways to schools.

In South Sound, Pioneer Elementary School in Olympia and Lacey Elementary School in Lacey have special events planned, according to the National Center for Safe Routes to School’s web site.
