We had an incredible turnout at this year’s Winter Walk+Roll to School Day. Additionally, several schools across Central Oregon hosted their own Walk+Roll events.
Our Safe Routes to School Coordinator, Marika, organized Winter Walk+Roll to School Day at Bear Creek Elementary. We saw our largest turnout of participants ever for a Winter Walk+Roll to School Day, with about 60 total attendees!
Additional elementary schools in Central Oregon that stepped up to host their own events included Buckingham, Ponderosa, Highland, Lava Ridge, and Amity Creek.
We are so proud to see an increase in participation in pushing to encourage walking and rolling options for commuting to school. These efforts shape our youth’s safety knowledge and healthy practices.
