International Walk to School Day

By:

For the second year now, we promoted International Walk to School Day which was held on October 6, 2011 and encouraged students to either bike or walk to school. The purpose of the event was to promote increased physical activity and reduce traffic congestion and pollution. We made students and parents aware of the event by sending home flyers and posting signs at the school’s entrances. While we have many students who walk and bike to school throughout the year, this day gave many students who are typically driven to and from school the opportunity and encouragement to walk or bike to school for a change.
