walk to school day 2006

From the Michigan Safe Routes to School program:

Henry David Thoreau said, "An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day." On Wednesday, October 4, 2006, we are hoping hundreds of Michigan schoolchildren will be joined by parents and other community members and start their day with an early morning walk to school.

The website includes classrom activities, program ideas, and a registration form to sign your school up for Walk to School Day.

Washtenaw County currently has four schools registered to participate. In Ann Arbor, King and Logan elementary schools are signed up. To get your school signed up, check the website or call 1-800-434-8642.
