Zoe is in third or fourth grade, so that puts her age somewhere between eight and 11. (Zoe was 9 in 2021, so she is probably 9 or 10 now). (Do a google search for “How old is Zoe Macpherson in Baby Blues” to see where I got this from)
Most of the time I bicycled to school (September through mid-November) and March or April to June. Walked the rest of the time. (I lived too close for the bus). For my son for high school, we lived within what the city called a reasonable walking distance (just under 3.2 km – over that, he would have been eligible for the bus (or at least a city bus pass). Most of the time, he too the (city) bus, but we had to pay for the bus pass.
