Dear Partner for a Safe Community:
Our annual Walk to School Week Campaign (October 6-10) will again be held in
conjunction with International Walk to School Day.
We encourage all interested schools, police departments and neighborhoods to
organize their own Walk to School event at your school, and/or join us for
Madison
Area SAFE KIDS Walk to School Week kickoff, hosted by Cottage Grove Schools
and Police Department:
October 8, 2008
Cottage Grove Elementary School
470 N. Main Street
Bus drop-off of students at Community Park: 7:20-7:30 AM
Students are walked to the elementary school. After all students arrive in
their
classrooms, the students will be taken to the gymnasium where a short (5
minute)
program will occur.
Interested in organizing an event at your school? Attached is the form for
you to let
us know what is happening at your school so that we can build the calendar
for the
week and share with the media as well. Please let us know what resources you
need for your "walk" on the form as well. Forms are due back to me (Nan
Peterson) by Monday, September 29 (email [EMAIL PROTECTED] or fax
265-9650).
Walk to School Week Goals:
·to encourage safe walking behaviors;
·to educate drivers in school zones;
·and to enjoy the health benefits of walking.
Much work has been done this past year to improve problem areas around
schools,
develop traffic plans, and educate parents about safe drop-off behaviors.
This year
we hope to encourage the use of more walking school buses.
Thanks to all of our partners in this county-wide effort.
Questions? Contact either myself or Lisa Bullard-Cawthorne (444-3542).
Thanks!
Nan
