 “China gate” holders Chris McDonald, left, and Waylon Singletary, right, usher in students (front row from left) Claire Smith, Haley Hanover, Josie Carlson and Mason Mitchellm and (back row from left), Mitchel Larson, David Montez and Layne Bohannon. Submitted One-hundred-and-fifteen sixth-grade students at Crescent Elk Middle School collectively walked the distance of the Silk Road, an ancient trade route mostly located in China. The project combined the studies of the ancient civilizations of China and India, part of the sixth-grade history curriculum, with the district physical fitness and nutrition programs.
Students covered the long distance during their elective and PE classes averaging six laps around the school track per student per session—a distance of 1.5 miles each time. To help keep campus litter from blowing into the ocean, students sometimes traded litter picked up on school grounds as their ticket off the track.

“This is something we really enjoy doing,” said Del Norte Ambulance president and paramedic Ron Sandler. “It’s always nice to see the smiles.”
The annual event has been going on for more than a decade.
