On your mark, get set, join us for the 29th annual National Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day

Walk, Bike and Roll to School Day is a great way to help the environment and stay healthy. Plus, it's fun too! Join us and millions of other students, parents, community members, and teachers all over the country and walk or bike to school!

Why Walk, Bike or Roll?

It’s fun! Remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time or walking or rolling to school on the first day? There’s a feeling of joy and independence—a sense of adventure—that doesn’t fade. Of course, there are many other benefits to walking, biking or rolling to school, too. This event also supports healthier habits, a cleaner environment, promoting safety and community benefits.

We know things look a little different this year, so keep checking back for more information about how we still plan to celebrate this fun initiative while keeping it safe and accessible for ALL our students.

Most importantly for Teachers and Parents: at the very least, use the next week leading up the 9th to discuss traffic safety with your child(ren). Talk to them about crosswalks, street signs, sidewalks, looking for cars, safe riding rules and all the other important information that will keep them safe.
