National Walk to School Day is observed annually in the first week of October. This day brings together students, school administration and staff, parents and the community to celebrate the value of walking to school. Please join us in walking to campus, your school or anywhere else to improve physical health and highlight the need for improvements to create safer spaces for students that walk to school.

Mark your calendars for upcoming Walk to School Day dates for 2017-2019.
