Winter Walking Day
Winter Walking Day is Friday, February 26. Will you and your child join us?
Walking is a healthy way to get to exercise, helps kids stay focused and engaged in their learning, and keeps the air around our neighborhoods and schools fresh and clean.
Tips for a safe and comfortable winter walk:
- Check the forecast and avoid days that are too cold, windy, or snowy.
- Dress in layers to help regulate your body’s temperature.
- Keep your toes warm by wearing winter boots and warm socks.
- Take your time and enjoy a leisurely pace.
- Use sidewalks and trails when you can.
- Wear hats and mittens to keep your head and hands warm.
- Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after your walk to school.
- Use sidewalks and trails when you can.
We encourage you to try taking a stroll at home or on the way to school—we think it will be fun and refreshing. Let’s all bundle up and walk together on February 26!
