Hundreds of students and parents turned out this morning for another great walk’n’roll event at Wildwood Elementary. Walking and riding to school are great ways to get exercise and have been shown to improve academic performance.
Thanks to all who showed up, including all the first responders who handed out stickers as kids arrived at school.

Kudos to the Acacia Magnet School community, CVUSD team, TOPD, and city crossing guards for staging such a well attended Walk’n’Roll event this morning!
Principal Dennis Carter, CVUSD trustees Lauren Gill and Bill Gorbachev, and TOPD personnel greeted dozens of students and parents and joined them on the walk to school.
Walking or riding a bike is a great way to get to school, and improves student performance as well.

Hooray for the dozens of Weathersfield Elementary students, parents, and staff who turned out this morning for another successful “walk’n’roll” event. Thanks too to @thousandoakspd and @cityofthousandoaks crossing guards who ensured this was a safe and fun event for everyone, and to CVUSD trustee @powell4cvusd for her good ideas on widening the walk’n’roll effort.

Studies have found that walking or riding to school not only makes for healthier kids, but also correlates with better academic performance. Contact your PTA if you’d like to start a walk’n’roll effort at your kids’ school!

“Walking school buses” - groups of kids walking and/or riding to school - not only promote better health and academic performance but also make for safer streets.

Walk'n'roll!! Thanks to all the kids, parents, teachers, school administrators, TO Police, and community members who made today's Unity Day/Walk'n'Roll event at EARThS Magnet School a success.
