Winter Walk Day

Winter Walk Day

The Eco Team and Healthy Schools are joining forces to bring
Winter Walk Day to JLPS on Wednesday February 7th, 2018!

This is the perfect opportunity for parents and kids to get outside together and
stretch those legs! Walking to school in winter has many potential benefits,
including benefits for your child’s health and well-being (like opportunities to
learn and socialize on the way to school, and arriving to school alert and
ready to learn), our community (reduced traffic congestion around the school)
and the environment, too.

Here are some ideas for incorporating more walking on February 7th:

• If you can walk safely to school, wrap up warm, leave the car at home and travel to school foot with your friends. If you live too far to walk the whole way, try getting dropped off at a friend’s house or a few blocks away from the school so you can walk the last little bit. If your child takes the school bus, encourage them to go on a winter walk in the school yard.

Keep active this winter! Grab your mittens, hats and
boots and be a part of this fun winter event!
