Walk on the Child's Side
Phillips teacher Randy Kunsch (top) pauses as leaves Park Falls and heads
toward Fifield on the first day of the Walk on the Child's Side. Kunsch,
one of the event organizers, tended to fall behind others in the group
because he was conducting media interviews along the route.
Phillips teachers Rod Dymesich, Kelly Meredith and Julie Olson (middle)
enter Fifield, about 10 miles into their first-day walk.
"We're doing this to inform the public of the negative effects that
revenue caps have had on public school funding," Olson said.
Participants (bottom) who completed the entire 12-mile first-day walk
celebrate a successful day at a wayside just south of Fifield on Highway
13. Other participants walked part of the route.
