Walk to School Every Friday

Walk to School Day was a resounding success! Thanks to the 200+ students and parents who reduced the traffic into our school by walking. It made such a tremendous difference that every Friday is going to be a Walk to School Day!
All students who walk to school on Fridays will be eligible for a drawing for a motivational Every Day is Earth Day t-shirt.

Thanks to our resident artist, Betsy Schulz, for creating such an inspirational design for our latest t-shirts. We will be selling them from the School Office for $10. We are also selling extra-sturdy cotton shopping bags with the same, great logo for $7.
