Hundreds of CT Kids to Walk to School Tomorrow

10/8/2013

 
Hartford, Conn. (October 8, 2013) - Students throughout Connecticut will participate in International Walk to School Day tomorrow (October 9, 2013). 

Hundreds of students in the state will walk and bike to school tomorrow with parents, teachers community leaders from their homes or other designated sites.

The event will begin with kids, parents and community leaders walking from their homes or from designated starting points. 

International Walk to School Day is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event. Over time, this event has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school and a celebration-with record breaking participation-each October. Not only is walking to school a fun family activity, there are plenty of other benefits too.


As of today, the following schools and towns in Connecticut are participating: 

  • Bowers Elementary School-Manchester 
  • Burnham School-Bridgewater 
  • Center Road School-Vernon  
  • Charles Wright Elementary School-Wethersfield
  • Daisy Ingraham Elementary School-Westbrook 
  • Eastbury School-Glastonbury 
  • Emerson-Williams Elementary School-Wethersfield
  • Hanmer School-Wethersfield
  • Hindley School-Darien 
  • Highcrest Elementary School-Wethersfield  
  • Julian Curtiss Elementary School-Greenwich 
  • Pearson Intermediate School-Winsted
  • Philip R Smith Elementary School-South Windsor  
  • Booth Free School-Roxbury  
  • Skinner Road School-Vernon 
  • Tootin' Hills Elementary School-West Simsbury
  • Webb Elementary School-Wethersfield 
  • West Woods Elementary School-Hamden
