International Walk-Ride-Roll to School Day

Will you walk🚶, roll♿, bike🚴, or bus🚌 this year? Choose what works for your family to celebrate International Walk to School Day. Held annually, this event joins together students from over 40 countries. Visit www.NewtonSafeRoutes.org for more information about active transportation in Newton and Safe Routes To School to access educational information.

Can you spare 10 minutes in the morning to hand out stickers and bookmarks to students walking and biking to school on 10/9? 
Let's raise awareness for walking/biking safety!!
