Walk/Bike/Roll To School

International Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day (“iWalk”) is Wednesday, May 7!

Lace up those shoes and pump up those bike tires…it’s time to promote active transportation by walking, biking, or rolling to school! Globally, schools are scheduled to participate in iWalk the 3 mornings per year.

Check out our map of some suggested travel routes (for those farther from the school). Join an existing “walking bus” or “bike train” at one of the following meeting spots along these routes:

7:50 a.m.: Tufts-Dame Building (80 George St.) – walkers
8:10 a.m.: Tufts Park pavilion (437 Main St.) – bikes/scooters/walkers
8:10 am: Willis Ave & Hancock St. - bikes/ scooters
Park and ride/ walk from Tufts Park

No bike locks required! Bikes and scooters may be labeled and stored in the school cafeteria (stage area) during the day and picked up at the end of school or afterschool. Please see the event volunteer near the cafeteria doors in the morning.

Bus students will have the chance to participate when the buses let students off at the corner of Congress Ave. and Willis Ave. (about 1/4 mile from the school); school representatives will meet the students and escort them to the school.

The Golden Shoe Award will be awarded to the class with the highest percentage of participants. So make sure to encourage classmates to join and to add their names to the tally upon arrival at school.

Parents, please sign up to volunteer just 30 minutes in the morning:
