Next Monday through Friday, students are encouraged to walk or roll to school.
The weeklong opportunity promoted by Douglas ESD’s Safe Routes to School is geared to students in grades K-12 and their families, which includes virtual and homeschool students. Students can choose the nicest day of the week, or get their rain boots and coats.
Students who don’t live near a school are invited to participate for twenty minutes in a safe location such as a neighborhood or a park.
An ESD release said all participants should follow bicycle and pedestrian safety guidelines and are encouraged to participate with a friend or family member. Elementary-aged children and younger should have a responsible caregiver accompany them along their safe route to school.
Participants who register at: https://bit.ly/WinterWalkNRoll will be entered into a drawing to win a new bike, scooter, waterproof boots or umbrella. Winners will be announced February 20th via email and Facebook: www.facebook.com/DoCoSafeRoutes
