This year on Wednesday, October 10, schools across San Francisco will participate in Walk and Roll to School Day — now celebrated in over 40 countries around the world!
Walk and Roll to School Day is an opportunity to start a healthy habit for a lifetime. Studies show that children who walk to school enjoy health benefits and academic advantages, as well as getting more quality bonding time with parents. Plus, walking to school gives children a sense of accomplishment, independence, and self-confidence. Get started on Walk & Roll to School Day, then keep walking as often as you can!
You can email Vernon Haney at Walk SF to find out if your school has signed up to organize a school-wide event. Want to play a larger role and organize Walk and Roll to School Day at your school? Learn more here.
