Wellman Elementary is celebrating today’s Earth Day holiday in a special way.

The students are taking part in the first ever Wellman Elementary School Walk-A-Thon. Wellman Elementary Friendship Groups, which are multi-age groups of students who meet together during the school year, are cleaning up the grounds at Wellman Elementary and at North Park in Wellman. Following the clean up, a Walk-A-Thon is being held at the park. All students who participate will receive refreshments and a student designed Walk-A-Thon t-shirt.
