The guidebook provides a suggested timeline, tips, and suggestions
for promoting Walk and Roll Days at your site, including but not limited to International Walk and Roll to School Day. Your event can be as simple as sending home a
flyer, making announcements, and setting up a welcome table in front of
the school – or you can take it even further and involve kids in
promoting the event, other parents, and the community.
Feel free to modify/customize the 2017 flyer for your specific school needs. Created in MS Word for Windows. If you have trouble viewing/modifying this file, email saferoutes@bikesonoma.org
