Walk & Roll to School Day is Coming!
Wednesday, October 5 is Walnut Acres first Walk & Roll to School Day of the new school year! We will be celebrating National Walk to School Day on the 5th along with Foothill Middle School.
WHY walk & roll? It's fun, healthy, reduces traffic, it's pollution-free, it gives students responsibility, and builds independence!
To join a Walk & Roll group meet at the following locations: Wiget & Quiet Place Drive El Divisadero & Blackstone Naranja & Walnut Deerpark & Oak Grove Castle Rock & Bowling Green Walk & Roll groups will depart at 7:30 am to head to campus - don't be late!
Don't forget to check in when you arrive at school to be counted and get a prize!
Students are reminded to use Street Smarts to stay safe while biking, skateboarding, riding scooters and walking:
Always..
- Wear helmets,
- Ride on the right side of the road (go in the same direction as traffic),
- Stop at red lights and stop signs,
- Make eye contact with drivers,
- When walking: Use crosswalks and Stop, Look, & Listen before crossing streets!
Parents are reminded to use Street Smarts while driving in the 20 MPH school zone. Your children - and their classmates - are worth the extra time it takes to drive safely. |
