October is International Walk to School Month. To celebrate it we are having ourfirst Walking Wednesday of the year on October 7th. Remember that walking/wheeling to school:
- Increases our daily physical activity
- Increases safety for students by lowering the traffic congestion that we see every morning
- Helps reduce air pollution, which also means cleaner air around our school!
We know the morning rush makes it hard for some families to walk, maybe you can try some of these options:
- Walk a Block: legally park a block away from school and walk the remaining block
- Walking Buddies: for the older students it’s a safe way to walk to school with friends
As an Eco School we hope to get lots of walking students next Wednesday October 7th. Don’t forget to collect your sticker if you walked to school!If you are interested in helping out to distribute stickers to the walking students please contact Maria Valencia.
