Students and their families are encouraged to join the One Walk a Week challenge. To participate, students should walk or roll, either to school or their bus stop, at least once more per week than their usual routine. Those who participate can go online and complete a digital certificate to share their accomplishment.
The City is encouraging all students and their families to walk or bike to and from school. If you live farther from the school, consider parking five to 10 minutes away from the school and walking the rest of the way. Walking and biking promote healthy lifestyles, reduce traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions.
