Wednesday, October 4th is International Walk to School Day where we celebrate the benefits of walking to school. Although this year some of our Reuther walking routes are under construction, we encourage those who have a safe, clear route to join in with other kids all over the world by walking to school or walk to your bus stop that morning if you ride a bus.
Be sure to walk with a buddy, a group or parents. Wear bright, reflective clothing and a light if you have one. If you need a backpack light, stop by the office and ask for one.
Parents-please be extra alert and cautious on Wednesday morning. Many kids all over the district and in other cities may be walking to school and bus stops so watch for them and help keep all our children safe.
