WE’RE TAKING IT IN OUR STRIDE ON FRIDAY 17 MAY 2019

 It’s that time of year again when our school seriously starts talking about walking!

Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around. Although walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for many of us, it’s quite easy to figure out how you can build a walk into your family’s daily routine.

You can teach your child the healthy habit of walking more by:

- Walking with them the whole way to school

- If they get the bus, walk past your usual stop and get on at the next stop

- If you have to drive, park the car a few blocks away from the school and walk the rest of the way.

Regular exercise like walking with your child not only helps them beat chronic problems it also gives you a great opportunity to teach your child safe ways to behave around roads and traffic.

A healthy breakfast will be served at school in the K-6 lunch area from 8am to 8:45am. Order forms will be sent home this Friday.

Remember, active kids are healthy kids so get planning your own Walk Safely to School Day journey for Friday 17 May 2019!

Remember until they're ten, children must always hold an adult's hand when crossing the road.

Coordinators,

Liz Boxall & Stacey Crane
