What is "Walk to School"
Now we are working on a programme of "Walk to School". We would like as many parents and children as possible to take part, even if in a small way. Children who walk to and from school along with their parents can learn essential road safety and life skills.
You can take part by...
■ Walking to and from school with your child every day.
■ Walking for one or two days during the week.
■ Encouraging others to walk, if you already do.
Walking is great!
■ Walking is great exercise! A walk is good for your body and can keep you fit.
■ You won’t have to waste time looking for a parking site.
■ It’s free. You’ll save money by not using the car.
■ It’s pollution-free.
■ It’s a good chance to talk to your children and to meet other parents, too.
