October 27 - Walk/Bike to School Day
Tuesday, October 27 is Woodroffe's Walk/Bike to School Day! It's part of the International Walk to School Month this October. Together, let's work to help students safely walk or bike to school (even take their scooter!), reduce traffic congestion around the school, improve our children's health and reduce pollution. Look out for Ottawa Public Health – they'll be there before the 8:30am bell with giveaways for the kids!
We hope lots of kids (and parents) will get active that day – here's how you can help:
- Encourage your children (you, too) to walk or bike to school. You could even walk with your child and take a bus to work (routes 87 and 16 are accessible options)
- Talk to your neighbours and form a walk/bike group from your neighbourhood
- Park a distance from the school, then walk
Check out this study, which highlights the positive effect of exercise on kids' concentration at school.
Be the change that improves the health of yourself, your children and the community! See you on October 27!
Brought to you by the School Travel Planning Committee.
