Alameda and Alameda County are celebrating International Walk and Roll to School Day on Wednesday, October 4th. This year in Alameda, the following schools are participating:
Every October, schools across the county–and the world–celebrate International Walk and Roll to School Day (IWR2SD). The celebration is designed to encourage students, families and the school community to roll, walk, bicycle, take transit, or use other non-motorized transportation to get to school.
Throughout the day, students will share how they got to school by placing a sticker on our mode chart under the corresponding category that matches how they got to school. Participating students will receive fun giveaways and take part in a global event with students around the world.
Whether your students are new to walking and rolling or they have lots of experience, this is a great opportunity to make our streets safer, reduce traffic, improve air quality, and have fun exercising with our communities!
