Walk to School Day

The original idea behind Walk to School Day was to build awareness for the need for more walkable communities. Traffic, lack of sidewalks, and unsafe streets limit many children's ability to walk or bicycle in their own neighborhoods.This national event is now in its 16th year and more people are walking and biking around their communities than ever. Walking or biking to school promotes excercise, clean air, and community. If you can, take a step in the right direction by either walking or riding a bike to school with your child. Not just on walk to school day, but any day!
