Walk Bike Roll, TOMORROW May 7th
Get ready for Walk, Bike, & Roll to School Day TOMORROW May 7th! Walking and biking to school benefits both the students and the community in several ways. Students who walk and bike get more physical activity, have more time to socialize with their friends, and develop a sense of independence and self-reliance. The community benefits from reduced pollution and traffic congestion. We encourage participants to plan a safe route in advance. A fun way to celebrate this day is to form a “walking train” with other Kings Park friends! Meet at the bike racks (to the left of main entrance) at 8:20 to celebrate! Bus transportation will still be available and will follow the same route schedules. Kiss and Ride will still be available.
