National Walk to School Day is Wednesday, October 4
One way to add more physical activity into the school day is by beginning before the school day even starts! Walking school buses allow children to walk safely to school with community leaders, school staff, parents, and other students! School buses and/or walkers are dropped at designated safe spots and children then walk to school together. Each school participating in National Walk to School Day kicks off a program that allows walking school buses to continue on a regular basis that allows students to walk on a more regular basis.
This year, the following schools (more to come!) are kicking off their Walking School Bus programs on October 4-
Coquillard Primary
Madison Primary
Mussel Primary
Perly Fine Arts Academy
