Walk to School Day
Looking for a healthy way to start the day? Jump-start your morning by walking with your child to school!
Join the University Park community in celebrating International Walk to School Day on Wednesday, October 7th.
Take some time to promote health, safety and the environment by walking with your child to school - or just simply taking a walk together. If you live too far from your child's school to walk or you ride the bus, you can drive part of the distance, then park and walk the rest of the way or meet us on the track before school and show your support at the before school fun run!
Walking to school is a great way to be a part of a global event and to promote health, to identify safer routes for walking and to improve air quality. Walk to School events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for the environment and building connections between families, schools and the broader community.
To learn more about upcoming International Walk to School events, please visit:
Walk for fitness and walk for fun!
