Celebrate walking to school this October with Walk to School Day  

Walk to School day is an international holiday held every year to champion our students’ trek to school. It’s also a great opportunity to encourage the most healthy, affordable, and environmentally conscious form of transportation available to students.

This Walk to School Day, join school communities throughout the United States and more than 40 countries to encourage a safe and healthy walk to school!
