• Volunteers are needed to help cheer on students as they walk! If you are interested in volunteering for this event please contact Alisa Cox at: saferoutesthurston@gmail.com

Walk to School Day is observed annually in October. This is a day to get out and get some exercise while enjoying the weather. Please join us and walk to school or work. 

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. It isn’t hard on our joints and feet like running and jogging but still gives us all the advantages.

The goal of this day is to raise awareness and support for the health, community and environmental benefits of regularly walking or biking to school.
