Claxton
Elementary School will celebrate
International Walk/Bike to
School Day on October 9, 2013
WHAT: Claxton Elementary School in Asheville, NC will be
joining schools from around the world to celebrate International Walk/Bike to
School Day on October 9, 2013.
WHERE: If your child already walks or bikes to school, we ask that
they do the same on October 9th. For all students and parents who
are interested in participating in the Walk/Bike who do not live in walking
distance of the school can meet at two locations: the parking lot at Weaver
Park, or in the parking lot at Fuddruckers on Charlotte St. Staff members will
be at both locations by 7:15. We will leave both locations at 7:30 en route to
Claxton.
WHEN: Gather at 7:15 a.m.,
walk to begin at 7:30 a.m.
SIGNIFICANCE: In
the U.S., International Walk to School Day is expected to include more than
4,000 events across all 50 states. Walkers from the U.S.
Walk to School events work
to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of
issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic
congestion, concern for the environment and building connections between
families, schools and the broader community.
The event is being
organized by Claxton
Elementary School’s Wellness Team. All students who participate will receive a
bottle of water and a Cliff Bar.
