From holly-avepta@ausd.net Mon Oct 1 15:23:39 2007 From: holly-avepta@ausd.net (Holly-AvePTA Holly-AvePTA) Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2007 07:23:39 -0700 Subject: [Holly-Ave] Welcome to National Walk to School Week! Message-ID: Actually, it is International Walk to School Week, October 1 - 5. Over 2,000 schools across America are walking to school. Adults and children around the world are walking. PTA and its Traffic Committee are proud to be sponsoring the first ever Walk to School Week here at Holly Avenue! We are inviting children and adults to walk to school for one week. If you park your car close to the campus and walk your child to school, that counts. All walkers will receive a sticker to wear, letting everyone know that they are walking to school like many others across the globe! International Walk to School is an annual event that promotes walking for several reasons. So why should we walk? =95 Physical activity =95 Teaching safe walking skills to children =95 Awareness of how walkable a community is and where improvements can be made =95 Concern for the environment =95 Reducing traffic congestion, pollution and speed near schools =95 Taking back neighborhoods for people on foot =95 Sharing time with community leaders, parents and children For more information, please point your internet browser to www.walktoschool.org. Thank you for your support.
