LASARA – An idea to motivate students to exercise and be healthy while also asking them to walk more than 800 miles.

They call it the Walk Across Texas, a program sponsored by Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service to get students to take on more physical activities.

At Lasara Independent School District, they had a pep-rally to kick off the program.

Students from elementary to high school, to faculty to parents all participated.
