Ready to Walk and Roll to School?
Walk and Roll to School Day is an annual event promoting active and healthy commutes to school. This celebration invites students, families, and communities worldwide to embrace active transportation to school. Arlington County’s WalkArlington program is excited to support this global initiative by promoting healthier lifestyles and stronger community connections right here in Arlington.
Participating in Walk and Roll to School Day offers numerous benefits. It boosts physical activity, helping students stay fit and focused in the classroom. By choosing to walk, bike, or roll, families contribute to a cleaner environment by reducing their carbon footprint. Plus, active commuting takes cars off the road, contributes to street safety, and builds community as neighbors interact with and support each other.
Getting involved is easy! Encourage your children to walk, bike, or roll to school and take part in the activities throughout the day.
