International Walk to School Day - Oct. 8

Safe Routes To School Task Force volunteers encourage students who walk or bike to one of ten schools in Bloomington, Ellettsville, & Stinesville on October 8, International Walk to School Day. Each school's activities are different, but may include standing on the sidelines, cheering kids into school, handing out freebies and fun things, or helping maintain traffic patterns on school property. The event's aim is to encourage students to live an active lifestyle and
encourage families to try alternative transportation as a means of getting to school. Volunteers must pass a background check facilitated by the Monroe County Community School Corporation. Please contact Jennifer Staab at (812) 330-7700 or jstaab@mccsc.edu.
