October 5th, 2011 was Annual Bike/Walk to School Day. Hun- dreds of students, parents, teach- ers participated in this outstanding event. Kohler stu- dents were thrilled to enjoy the beautiful weather, get some exer- cise and cut down on gas con- sumption as they were greeted by “Bomber” the school mascot dog. They were served healthy treats and enjoyed a time to so- cialize with one another.
