Walk+Roll to School Day
Winter Walk or Bike to School Day is coming up on Feb.5. With the right preparation, walking or biking to school in the winter can be fun and safe.
Even a little bit of daily movement can:
- Improve children's focus and learning,
- Provide regular physical activity,
- Give kids time to connect with friends,
- Reduce air pollution and traffic congestion around schools.
Dress for the weather – wear layers, scarves, rain gear, and reflective clothing to stay warm, dry, and visible.
