Wednesday October 3 IS INTERNATIONAL WALK TO SCHOOL DAY!

This is a great opportunity to teach your child about the importance of daily exercise. If possible, walk, bike or scooter with your chid to school. Join other families in your neighborhood that will also be walking. We would love to see the bike racks full!

For those of you whose children ride a bus, you also have an option. In the past (unless it storms like last year) we have arranged to have the 4 King buses drop students at the end of Waldenwood, close to Earhart where there are sidewalks, and have staff and other parents greet the students and walk with them to school. This fun activity enables even the bus riders to get a taste of walk to school day!

Look for a permission slip in your child's backpack and return it to school by 9/28 so that your child can participate. If you would like to help be a parent walker, please contact Susan Aaronson at 741-9878 or susaaaro@umich.edu
