Walking School Buses
A walking school bus involves a group of students walking to and from school accompanied by an adult. It’s a simple way to change up your commute and get kids moving! Walking school buses can be as easy as a few neighbors gathering together and walking their way to school, or it can be an organized effort to gather a large group. It’s often best to start small then expand as you build momentum!
Benefits of a Walking School Bus
Here are a few reasons we love a walking school bus:
Nothing is needed besides your own two feet.
They build community and camaraderie between students.
Larger numbers crossing the street provide more visibility to drivers, increasing safety.
Students get in daily movement by simply commuting to and from school.
