Workers with M&E Concrete Finishing of Vicksburg smooth a walking track being installed at Bowmar Elementary. They are, from left, Justin Pittman, Ernest Woodward, Robert Andrews and James Newman. The school raised through walk-a-thons in the spring $9,000 to pay for the track, said principal Tammy Burris. The track was finished Friday, in time for the first day of school Monday. Students will record the miles they walk, and teachers will incorporate geography lessons into the physical fitness activity.
