Walk to School Week 18th – 21st May

Walk to schoolHow can you and your child take part?

  • If you usually walk to school, then carry on doing exactly that and your child will get their daily sticker!
  • If you don’t usually walk, it couldn’t be easier to give it a go! Perhaps you can walk to school just one or two days during the week.
  • If you live too far away from school, or you need the car for work, parking a five minute walk away will reduce the congestion outside school. You’ll still get the health benefits and help improve your child’s road sense.
  • By taking part, you will be joining the thousands of other children and their parents walking to school in East Renfrewshire.

 Enjoy your walk to school!
