This morning, 7-year-old Veronica Fritz will be chauffeured to school like she is most mornings, but not in the manner one might expect. There will be no maneuvering in sluggish traffic as breakfast is eaten while seat belts are fastened. She will be accompanied to Ridgeway Elementary School with her friends on foot, by her mother, Dana Fritz, as part of the Walking School Bus Program.
