On Friday, May 17, Kewdale had a blast celebrating Walk to School Day!
Walk Safely to School Day is all about rethinking our transportation habits and sneaking in more steps for a healthier, more active lifestyle. While walking the entire way to school might not be doable for everyone, there are plenty of fun and simple ways to add a walk to your family’s daily routine:
- Walk with your kids all the way to school.
- If they take the bus or train, walk past your usual stop and hop on at the next one.
- If driving is a must, park a few blocks away and stroll the rest of the way.
Getting regular exercise like walking to school not only keeps you and your child fit, but it also helps fend off chronic issues like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Plus, it’s a fantastic chance to teach your kids about road safety and smart behavior around traffic. So, lace up those sneakers and make walking a part of your day!
