This year, we will have three walks to Topeka, one from Merriam/Kansas City, one from Manhattan, and one from Emporia. This post covers the Kansas City area walk. (See http://gameonforkansasschools.com/2016/02/game-on-2016-walk-to-include-manhattan-route/ for information on the Manhattan route and http://gameonforkansasschools.com/2016/02/game-on-2016-walk-to-include-emporia-route/ for information on the Emporia route.

If you would like to join us for any or all of the walk, or if you can’t walk but can otherwise volunteer (drivers are also needed), please sign up using this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Oqv0H3iU1sqF44QHGr950llK7vnz4kyOWTFqrQ92XZg/viewform?c=0&w=1.
We will coordinate transportation and meals so it is really necessary that we know how many are participating in the walk portions.

We will walk March 11th-March 13th, and we will be joined by others for our final leg into the Capitol on Monday, March 14th. The more the merrier!

Here is the link to the Kickoff event on Friday, March 11 at 8:15 am at Chatlain Park in Merriam: https://www.facebook.com/events/447073138817581/
From there, we will walk around 20 miles through DeSoto. We will have lunch that day with speakers at Shawnee Mission Park.

Saturday morning, we will have a sendoff event in Eudora. Here is a link to the Eudora sendoff event at Eudora Elementary School, 801 East 10th St.: https://www.facebook.com/events/898925733557136/

Lunch will be provided for walkers.

We will end our Saturday walk along a gravel road east of LeCompton. Transportation will be provided to walkers as long as you register using the Google doc.

Sunday morning transportation will be provided to walkers to the point where the walkers finished on Saturday. Lunch will be provided. Walkers will finish their trek at Topeka High School, 800 Southwest 10th St. in Topeka.

Monday the 14th, we will meet across the street from Topeka High School at 9:30 am along with the walkers from Manhattan (and maybe other areas-watch for more information) as well as other public school supporters and walk with a drumline escort into the Capitol where will hear from speakers in the rotunda.
