The WALKING SCHOOL BUS rolls again next week on Wednesday, Oct. 9, which happens to be International Walk To School Day!
Walking School Buses are adult-supervised groups of children walking along fixed routes, ending at Rodgers Forge Elementary on Wednesday mornings.
To join in, simply find the route on the map below that is closest to your home. The “bus” starts at the outermost point on the route at 8:30 a.m. (8:40 at Stanmore and Lanark), reaching school at 8:45.
It's good exercise, saves gas and visibly encourages motorists instead to walk their children to school. Plus, it builds community, and it's fun.
Walking School Buses run every Wednesday.
“Bus Drivers” are your friends and neighbors who take turns once or twice a month. Safety flags and posters make the group more visible to vehicles.
For more information or to sign up, e-mail to rodgersforgebus@gmail.com.
It may not work for you to “drive the bus.” But you can always send your child along on Walking Wednesdays.
Get on the bus!
