Walk or bike to school

Biking or walking to school is an excellent way to start the day with fresh air, exercise, and a little extra time to spend with your kids. It also saves money and improves the air quality around your school!  It may not be possible for everyone to do every day, but a lot of us have just gotten in the habit of driving everywhere and simply need to change gears.

If walking is more your speed, consider hooking up with a few neighbors. Or take it once step further and organize a walking school bus! It's a fun way get to your whole neighborhood involved or you could make it a school wide event to increase awareness of good health and positive environmental impact.

Don't let a few falling raindrops, leaves, or even snowflakes for that matter, deter you... once you get going, the kids might choose to walk or bike to school almost year 'round!
